First Farmers’ Market Back!

January 10, 2019

After a well deserved break our vendors are rested and ready to serve up all of your 2019 food resolution needs. Aspirations to shop more locally? We've got all the basis covered; Sourdough Bread, Meat, Veg, Gluten Free, Honey, Sprouts and more. Wanting to start cooking more this year? We have free cooking classes with recipes you can take home each week and try out yourself. Wanting to get active? Don't forget about our pay-what-you-can Pilates classes in the Labatt Lounge 9-10. Come and join us for the first day back, meet some fresh faces, learn a new thing, and most importantly of all-shake that winter blues with a fun day at the Market!

Mapping Out Your Morning

Step 1: Hit up one of our coffee shops for your morning brew!

Step 2: Get in line for Seth’s bread. It goes quickly.

Step 3: Do a walk around the market, take inventory and then decide on a shopping list. Markets are a little different than the grocery store. There is always something new and being flexible with your menu is a good skill to have!

Step 4: Still feeling unsure what to buy? Pop down for warm gooey burek from the Hot Oven, slip into our FREE Cooking class and learn the ways of Chef Carmen for inspiration.

Step 5: With 1 hour left of market, make the rounds and get all the goods you need to nourish you for the week ahead.

Step 6: Missing some things on your list? Don’t forget about our permanent vendors downstairs. They have a wide selection to choose from!

What's Cooking This Week?

Our beloved free cooking classes have returned! We’ve got a stacked line up of amazing chefs for you this season. This week, Chef Carmen Barquero will be teaching us how to make a vegetarian “Rustic Roasted Winter Vegetable Chowder” and “Honeybutter Oat Bread.” Chef Carmen has hosted and taught many classes around London ON and we are looking forward to having her at the Farmers’ Market this weekend.
