Thank you everyone that came on our first day!  Wow, the line up indicated you were all missing us. Much gratitude to your patience and support for our vendors. We did our best to keep the line flowing – though this is wholly dependent on customers getting in/out quickly i.e. shopping alone, have a plan, minimize browsing.  In doing so, it’s considerate to others waiting in line in to shop!

See you on Tuesdays!  Please give yourself time for the line #LineUpForLocal. Yep, it’s our new normal…

• Shop Alone, not in groups!
• It’s a one way flow – Enter Crawford, Exit Dundas
• Cover up nose and mouth
• Stay 6ft apart from others, do not crowd vendor
• Have a plan for swift shop in/out – others are waiting!
• No eating/sampling in market.
• No pets or bicycles.

Congratulations to Henri, the winner of our October and final basket draw of the season. He literally needed a third hand to hold all his loot for the photo.  We hope that he enjoys the bounty.  Thank you to all our vendors that donate their product towards the basket. It’s so much fun!  note: the monthly basket draw only takes place August, September and October of the season.

Congratulations David!  The winner of our September basket draw.  He’s been a hardcore market shopper for years, meaning nothing stopped him from coming during the deluge to pick up his bounty.  Good thing he had the kids wagon to haul it all home.  Enjoy!

One last basket draw remains of the season.  Spend $20 or more at a vendor(s) and you are eligible.  Enter each week.
