FARMERS’ MARKET NEWS
Market manager Anne Freeman has been working with Foodshare on a project they received funding for from Project for Public Spaces [ed. see grant program], based in New York. She writes: “The Toronto part of the project, still in the fledgling stages, is aimed at building effective ways to get produce to communities that don't have good fresh food access, strengthening links between existing and new markets around the city, and supporting local agriculture through access to healthy city markets.” Anne’s stories about the project are at www.dufferinpark.ca, click on “market.”
This year the winter market will have some market tents outside, European-style, against the west wall of the rink house, for the hardier farmers. That means a campfire to warm up by, hot chocolate from Choco-sol, and maybe some heaters for the farmers’ feet. Warm smiles from the market customers will do the rest.
DUFFERIN GROVE FARMERS’ MARKET, EVERY THURSDAY AT THE RINK HOUSE 3 –7 PM
