When we officially started up the farm just before Christmas we didn’t quite know what to expect. We knew we had a delicious product that we liked – but would others too?
Camrose truly welcomed us with open arms – it’s heartwarming how helpful and supportive businesses and the amazing community have been. And once the snow was gone and the Downtown market started up we were there! From the very first day and every day since. It’s hard not to fall in love with the atmosphere and the community – all the people involved in making it happen – from Downtown Camrose to the ones organizing the Downtown market, to the vendors and of course all the lovely customers .
Even though the weather haven’t been that great (no snow yet though!) people show up and support local . Each week you bring such great conversation, recipes and life stories. We love that so many of our customers return their jar each week – they do get a $1 off but it’s the thing of it all, that we’re making a difference and limiting the number of new jars that being purchased that is important. Together we’re stronger.
Market days are intense but once everything is unpacked and the baby is asleep we melt down into the couch with big grins on our faces talking about the highlights of the day.
So, this week when we’re partners with Vinesation to be the business and market vendor of the week – we’re extra excited for Thursday. Bridget at Vinesation have been such a great supporter, inspiration and friend from the very start. We love how the micro greens and olive oils compliment each other and just makes everything paired with them delicious! And Vinesation is our official pick up location for micro green subscriptions.
For those of you who stop by at the market we’ll have a one time salad mix featuring a vinaigrette from Vinesation. We’re bringing Zeniths zingy pepper pesto and we will have saskatoons available as well!! We hope to see you there tomorrow 🙂
