Hiya folks, As you know, we've been having our Farm Gate markets on Thursdays at the Roberts Creek Hall from 3 - 6 pm. Naturally, these last couple of weeks have been a bit sparse for vendors as our local food producers either take some time off, or start shutting down their retail due to a lack of products. Our apologies if you've gone out and been disappointed to see little selection.
But, I know that there are some farmers and producers out there who occasionally vend their surplus and who might be interested in bringing in some extra income for these lean winter months. If you have any winter veggies, stored veggies, dried herbs, eggs, or other market safe products in abundance, consider sharing them with your community by vending at the Farm Gate.
We have 3 table spaces for vendors each week, and you can book now for a half ($2.50 fee) or full ($5 fee) table today!
