Locke Street Farmers' Market
Back for 2011! June through October
Locke Street Farmers' Market
Every Thursday from 3 to 7 pm every Thursday
June 17th until October 28th at
211 Locke Street South in the Parking Lot
2010 finally saw a long-discussed and dreamed of Farmer's
Market on Locke. Yes, it was small, but it was perfect
for Locke Street and the market was a great success. And
so... the
Farmer's Market will be back in 2011!
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.
Calling all Locke-A-Vores!
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 about helping
set up a market, Tom Ratcliffe of Melrose United Church was
inspired to say, “Be
a Locke-a-Vore”.
List of farmers and food producers in 2010 included:
- Black Walnut Lane - Ron and Adele Service, Millgrove,
905-689-0698 (lamb and beef)
- Earth To Table Bakery : Bettina Schormann, Hamilton,
905-516-2362 (bread)
