THE VENDORS:
Gypsy Trunk – Downtown for a pop-up appearance, these guys have delicious vegan eats! Let us know if you think we should keep bringing them back.
Urban Digs Farm – it’s their last week Downtown so be sure to stop by to pick up some of their heritage pork, bison and eggs!
G&D Growers – It’s your last chance to pick up some of these juicy berries and sweet cherries, it’s also their last week this season!
MANAGER PICKS:
We’re expecting a beautiful sunny Thursday this week so when you arrive at the market stop by Nice Pops and pick up one of their seasonal popsicles – they’re all good but if you get a chance to try the hibiscus mint strawberry, it won’t disappoint! Next, look for Spread Em Kitchen as they make their first appearance downtown with their delicious vegan dips – you can usually sample a few but be sure to try the cream cheese style Chives and Garlic! Finally, make dinner an easy one this week and pick up a pie from Chef Enrick, he has many to choose from including Tourtière Pork, Beef Bourguignon, or my favourite the veggie pot pie!
DONT MISS:
Its sockeye season! Be sure not to miss Blue Comet Seafood’s and pick up their fresh, never frozen, sockeye! It won’t be around for long but we promise it will be a great addition to any Canada Day BBQ’s you have planned this weekend! Did you know Blue Comet Seafood is part of the Oceanwise program? Oceanwise will be at the market this week talking about their program – keep an eye out for them near the Blue Vomet stall to learn more!
Help spread the word! Stop by the information tent and pick up a poster and some leaflets – hang up in lunch rooms, elevators, lobbies and community boards. Help the market grow by spreading the word to your colleagues and neighbours!
See you at the market!
