Main Street Farmers Market
In the summer of 2012 Food For Folks teamed up with Music First and Aboriginal Youth Opportunities to host an event we named DROP THE BEET.
This event was complete with organic vegetables sourced from local farmers', local apples, flavoured honey, iced coffee, Guayki Iced Tea, crokinole boards, and a DJ Tent with the musical talents of Beezneez and Tube Screamer.
The Main Street Farmers' Market takes place every Friday from June - September 2pm-6pm, on Main Street @ Euclid in the parket lot of Neechi Commons.
The majority of our fresh produce came from Jonathan's Farm and Food Ethos Farm
