We’re pleased as punch that you seem to love us. This week is about sharing the harvest with over 30 vendors, including ten local farmers to choose from. This week is also about sharing the summer lovin’ because it’s Bring a Newbie week! We want as many people as we can to understand the love of a farmers market and to see why it’s good for us all! Bring a friend who’s never been to our market and join us for one of two guided market tours with Operations Manager, Jen Arbo. Get the inside scoop on some of our many amazing vendors and meet the people who grow your food! Learn how to select purchases from the experts themselves. Market tours start from the RCFM tent at 5:00PM and 6:00PM. Pre-registration not required. Those of you who do the friend-bringing can enter to win a gorgeous 100% recycled cotton, washable, sturdy, made-in-Canada RCFM market tote.
