This Week at Hastings Park – March 13
Spring has Sprung at Hastings Park
This week we’re excited to bring fresh, certified organic herbs to the market including cilantro, basil, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, sage, savory, oregano, mint, and marjoram from Lowland Herb Farm. They also are bringing plants and seedlings, just in time for Spring! To add to the spring excitement, Bryan and Agnes Warmerdam will be bringing fresh cut daffodils from their farm in Abbotsford. Looking for a sweet treat? Stop by Sweet Thea for some new offerings like fig bars, pumpkin cream cheese struesel muffins and apple brioche! Come early to avoid disappointing your sweet tooth!
