We have more exciting news!

March 11, 2021

The weather is really doing us some favours! That sun, that warmth - if I didn't know better, I'd store my winter gear! I'm sure we'll be getting some more cold or snow bouts as is typical, but for now, let's bask in that Spring feeling! Speaking of Spring... check out our news below! “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade" - Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.

We’ll be sharing the vendor list beforehand as usual, but you’ll be sure to see many familiar faces! Who are you hoping will be there?

Signs of Spring

Do you follow our vendors online? Some have been posting updates as their plants grow and it is so exciting to watch. Ellen from Orchard Hill Farm planted her first seeds of 2021 back at the end of January – little spinach seeds – and I think about those little plants every day, dreaming of how far they’ve come. Thames River Melons shared a lovely photo of their onion seedlings popping up from the soil. That’s always a great visual of Spring and new life! I wish I could smell the greenhouses with that fresh earthy scent!
