Farmers Market Today

Just a reminder that today is the Farmers' Market in the parking lot that sits south of Bloor between Borden and Lippincott. I had a chat with the local organizer of the Market since I had heard rumblings that the farmers would not sell produce before 3pm even if they were set up to do so. His explanation had to do with fairness and likened it to showing up early to a garage sale. We all know how annoying the "earlybirds" can be. He also noted that the 4hour time frame, 3-7pm was fixed and that aspect was out of his control. The crowds are encouraging and organizers are hoping to double the number of buyers by next year. If you are interested in volunteering, they are very much in need of help; look for the white tent along Borden next time you are at the market for more information. The Market runs through the end of October.
