Community Vibes Keep on Going

So. Much. Generosity. London, this past week has been an amazing show of community pulling together to support those facing hard times. We have done drives before here at the market for a variety of organizations and each time it is amazing to see all that people offer. The market was able to donate $200 of gift cards and over $200 of cash to the OEV organization. This vibe is going to continue through the upcoming week at market. This Saturday we will have an organization called Tiny Seeds joining us. They are raising money to build schools abroad for communities in need. Tiny Seeds Nature School and Baha'i children here have been helping to raise funds by growing plants, making mini gardens, creating art and doing face painting at farmers markets.  Join us this Saturday for an interactive fundraiser!  

Meet your Farmer!

Saturday mornings = Fresh Produce and chat’s with your farmer here at Covent Garden Market.

Join us for a special talk from Organic Farmer, Bird Enthusiast and a Wildlife Biologist Antony John. You may recognize him from his outdoor booth selling produce from his farm Soiled Reputation.

Get a first hand insight on what Organic Farming means to this farmer and how it is a part of an international food-web. We have been anticipating this talk for some time now, so make sure to join us for this special event. Free to attend as always, and will take place upstairs in the kitchen 11-12.

Sample Time

Our Sample program was put on hold last week but we are starting it up again in full force this week. Every Thursday we feature food that is sold by both our indoor and outdoor vendors. This week will be doing a beautiful roasted broccoli sample with Garlic Tahini Sauce.

Ray Janssens has broccoli growing like crazy on his farm and it would be a shame not to embrace its deliciousness during peak season.

Come out this Thursday and give this new recipe a try! We will have recipe cards to hand out the day of, so please join us.
