TIME TO START PLANNING FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!

Stay tuned for an upcoming collab with Jill’s Table! Jill is a shining star and we love seeing her at the farmer’s market every weekend.. so what better than to collaborate on a few recipe ideas for back to school season? We picked up some beautiful goods from our farmers and indoor vendors alike, and Jill transformed them into quick and easy meals.

The first of our TWO recipe videos is coming out tomorrow (Friday, Sept 4) on our social media, so be sure to hop over to @jillstable and @coventgardenmarketcanada to see what she makes. Tag us if you recreate her recipe: we’d love to see local produce and food education in action!

Socials Series by Guindon Creations

Goosolini has a critical mission today: secure meat and sauce for the grand finale flock BBQ. He marched across the market like a tiny feathery general, sniffing the air for clues. Then he found it — Chris’s Country Cuts. Premium cuts, perfect sauces, and a goose who refuses to settle for anything less.
Check out @guindoncreations on Instagram or Facebook to see what else their feathery friend has found on his journey through the Market!

Sampling Sundays

On Sundays 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 weekend’s feature is local jam made by Havaris Produce! We’ll be serving assorted flavours on crackers from Smith Cheese: the perfect addition to any charcuterie board and great inspiration for early fall hosting. 


🕚 Time: 11 a.m. ~ while supplies last!
