This week at Hastings Park – April 10
As spring is approaching, we’ve had to say goodbye to some of our farmers as their stock ran low and planting for the summer season is reaching it’s peak. However, small hints of spring and summer are popping up around Hastings Park including rhubarb from Shalefield Organic Gardens and strawberry seedlings from Crisp Organics. We’re also welcoming Paul’s Produce this weekend who’s bringing early greenhouse veggies!
Only 4 markets left until the winter season is over at Hastings Park! Remember, we’re open 1 weekend longer than Nat Bailey, so stop by Hastings Park until May 1st 🙂
