The Market is officially in spooky-season mode! From tiny trick-or-treaters in costume to pumpkin-spiced everything, we’re soaking in every sweet (and spooky) second.

Here are a few frightfully fun ways to celebrate at the Market this week:

🕸️ Costume Sightings!
Keep your eyes peeled, our vendors might just be going undercover as their alter-egos for the day. You never know who (or what) you’ll bump into in the aisles… 👀

🍬 Sweet Treat Central
If you’re hunting for last-minute goodies, seasonal baking, or snack-size treats for little ghouls, the Market has you covered, no tricks, all treats!

🦇 Spooky Snapshots
See a cute costume? A dazzling display of gourds? Share it on Instagram and tag us, we love featuring your Market Moments! #MarketHowloween

The Market is looking spooktacular! From tiny ghosts and goblins shopping with their families to creative costumes from Unicorns Are Real, there’s no shortage of Halloween spirit. Stop by for some festive photo ops and browse seasonal favourites from our vendors, think sweet treats, cozy candles, and fall-inspired goodies.

As the weather gets cooler, we said goodbye to some our regular season farmers market vendors. We are now entering our extended season taking place 8am to 1pm through the month of November and 9am to 1pm through the month of December.

November brings a shift in seasons and some new flavours at the Market! It’s the perfect time to stock up on hearty soups, baked goods, and warm drinks as the cooler weather sets in. Vendors are rolling out seasonal favourites, from local produce and handmade goodies to rich coffees and cozy comfort foods.

Every Sunday here at the market, we host Sampling Sundays, a chance to try delicious bites from different vendors. Whether it’s your first time tasting or a reminder of how good it really is, it’s the perfect way to explore what’s local and tasty! This Sunday, we’re featuring: Mini Pulled Pork Pastels from Love Pastel.

Step into the world of sourdough with an immersive, hands-on workshop designed to help you finally “get it.” Whether you’ve struggled before or are starting fresh, this experience blends skill-building with a whole lot of fun.

Together, we’ll walk through each step of the process, so you leave not only with knowledge, but with your very own dough ready to bake at home. You’ll also leave with a live starter, a mason jar with spatula for feeding, a danish whisk and my exclusive Student Guide.

✨ What makes this experience special?

• A welcoming, lighthearted environment where learning is fun and approachable.

• Hands-on practice so you truly understand the process, not just watch it.

• The chance to begin a new, soul-nourishing hobby that feels as good as it tastes.

This isn’t just a bread-making class—it’s a chance to connect, laugh, and discover the simple joy of creating something nourishing with your own two hands.

💡 What you need to bring:
Bring your own mixing bowl (keeps things simple + comfortable).

All ingredients and tools are supplied for you.

FREE BONUS: My exclusive 26-page Sourdough Made Simple E-Book (valued at $47), FREE with your workshop. It’s the same resource I sell alongside my starter kits, and it gives you all the detailed info you’ll need to confidently keep baking at home.

*Optional add-on kits may be available at the workshop (proofing baskets, scoring tools etc)

Spots are limited (10 – 12 people)
