Nothing compares to fresh baked bread and we think you should grab a loaf so that you can start each morning with a great bite to eat. You deserve it!

Coffee and a pastry can make anything better! We recommend you grab this pairing to keep you energized and happy!


🎀April

Grab a blanket, grab some friends and grab some charcuterie ingredients from the market to create the perfect board for a cozy night in!


💐May

Since May is the season where we leave the cold weather behind and welcome the sun, it only makes sense to treat yourself or someone else to a beautiful bouquet of flowers! 


🍓June

June is for the berry lovers! Buy your favorite type of berry to keep in your fridge to use throughout the week or for when you want something sweet and fresh!


🍦July

A frozen treat is exactly what you need! Grab some ice cream to cool off from the hot summer weather! 


🌞August

What’s fruity and fresh and keeps you cool? A smoothie of course, and we recommend you treat yourself to one!


🍂September

Getting back into routine after the summer is difficult, so grab some fresh premade dips and salads that you can grab on the go and make your mornings relaxed and easy! 


🎃October

To honour what the fall season is all about, we think a grilled cheese and soup is the perfect cozy lunch to enjoy at the market!


❄️November

Channel your inner relaxation. Treat yourself to some delicious tea that you can enjoy on any morning or evening.

We think a pastry or treat from the market is the perfect way to boost your happiness, and to really embrace what December is all about, give some to your loved ones as well to spread the joy!
