  2. Tagging for an early #SolarPunkSunday! This Saturday (and every Saturday)!

    #Toronto - Saturday #FarmersMarket

    Toronto's biggest year-round farmers market

    Saturdays, 8am – 1pm (Local Food Court open until 2pm)

    Summer location: Pavilions, 550 Bayview Ave, Toronto, ON M4W 3X8

    "Evergreen’s Saturday Farmers Market is open year-round, connecting people in Toronto to local #Ontario farmers and producers.

    "Evergreen started its Saturday Farmers Market in 2007 with 25 local farmers and producers, a great location, and a great community response. At the time, many predicted that it wouldn’t last. But, last, it did. Since then, it has grown into the largest year-round farmers market in Toronto.

    "Open year-round, snow or shine, Evergreen’s Saturday Farmers Market is the meeting place for people from across the city—and beyond. Here you can connect with fellow Torontarians and local Ontario food producers alike."

  4. More and more European local shops are closing because europeans still use US google (maps), and they won't favor local shops.

    We need more and more people who go shop at locals, and that's exactly why I build Lokjo, the map which filters corporations and chains from the category search.

    Support the european economy, support locals. Use our map. 😊

  5. So, pro-tip from the local farmstand (where I buy produce and some seedlings from) -- when growing #Tomatoes, plant #Basil and #Marigolds with them -- even if growing container tomatoes (which is what I do). I love my local growers! They rock! 💚 🌿 🍅 🌻

  6. Greenroots Gallery: Art, Nature & Creative Business in One Space

    I still remember my first visit. It was 2023, and I walked into Greenroots for a meeting with fellow creatives alongside the owner. From the moment I set foot there, I knew this space was different. There’s a quiet energy that surrounds you as soon as you arrive—something that feels both inspiring and peaceful at the same time. That first encounter left a mark, one that I still carry with me every time I return. Located at Shop No 1 at Greenroots, right next to Beauty and Nail Adventure […]

  13. #ClimateResilient #Gardening: Stories and Examples

    Growing food #locally is a #ClimateChange solution

    Updated: April 1, 2026

    "How are #Maryland gardeners adapting their #gardens and #GreenSpaces to climate change? We posed this question to our colleagues in the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and they shared examples of everything from #composting and food gardening to #PlantingTrees and #NativePlants, installing #RainGardens, and more!

    "Action on climate change is needed on a large scale, and our individual daily actions add up also. Check out these stories and take our quick poll at the end. Tell us how you're doing climate-resilient gardening!"

  14. On the Lokjo map, when clicking the blue Quick button, there's about 60+ different categories for local shops to search for your needs.

    There's more to find through the regular search.

    lokjo.com

    I'm working on a fix for some missing ones, which should be done in the next weeks.

    If anything isn't there, just let me know.

    p.s. Lokjo comes in english, spanish, french, dutch and german language.

  16. Lokjo is not just 'a map', it's a solution to many problems.

    It helps you find non-corporate locations, so your money doesn't end up in things like lobbying, political bubbles, forced labour, profit-wars, polution, and way more.

    It's a nifty little map, with big intentions. 😊

Here are a few of the items I sold yesterday. Missed me yesterday? Catch me at #sheeptoshawl at the Willamette Heritage Center next Saturday.

  20. Day 17 #30DaysOfBiking: Today was Go Orange day at my agency for work zone safety awareness. My orange garb went from professional during the day (walked to the nearby rhododendron park at lunch for the pic) to casual after work when I rode with my sweetheart to a local farmstand (scored fresh eggs and a big bunch of asparagus).

  21. Just 45 days until the big Salem Etsy Team Handmade Holiday Market. 150 vendors (including me) at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. We've had thousands of attendees in past years, buying every kind of handmade goods. Free parking, free admission, door prizes and more. I'll have lots of new work for you. More details as we get closer to the day. #handmademarket #MastoArt #holidaymarket #salemoregon #buyhandmade #buylocal #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear

  22. Several years back I purchased three red #Calligaris #Parisiennes in Liverpool. Alas, the red never re-appeared. Today, in the sale, I have purchased a further two clear polycarbonate dining-chairs. Buying from the website, they come next week. If I bought from a local furniture-store they would not arrive until the end of November! Sorry I didnæ #BuyLocal
