A new Farmers' Market on Locke Street South is opening on Thursday, June 17. It will operate from 3 to 7 pm every Thursday until October 28th.
On opening day, there will be a cooking demonstration featuring Executive Chef, Jeff Crump and Pastry Chef, Bettina Schormann.
Mayor Eisenberger and Councillor McHattie will be present at the opening ceremonies on the 17th.
Available at the market:
• local organic fruit & herbs
• local lamb, beef, wild boar & chicken
• fresh local vegetables
• breads, pies & pastries and more!
WHY: Delivered from the farmer’s fields to the heart of Locke Street, families young and old will be able to access the freshest of locally grown products. The farms are local, sustainable and managed by families who care for their land and their animals.
The term “Locavore” was developed a few years ago to capture what it means to support local and sustainable food systems. While chatting with local farmers, Tom Ratcliffe of Melrose United Church was inspired to say, “Be a Locke-a-Vore”. And so it will be that the people of the Locke St. neighbourhoods will have a unique opportunity this summer to be a “Locke-a-Vore”.
List of farmers and food producers include:
• Black Walnut Lane - Ron and Adele Service, Millgrove (lamb and beef)
• Earth To Table Bakery : Bettina Schormann, Hamilton (bread)
• Hay Seed Organic Farm: Jessica Andrews, Bennet Deakin, Kalvis Auzins, Brantford (vegetables)
• ManoRun Organic Farm: Chris Krucker, Copetown (vegetables)
• Summer Hill Farm : Mark and Tania Veenstra, Waterdown (wild boar)
Located beside Fenian Films @ 211 Locke St. S.
