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."

#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!"

So, I love my state senator! He mailed me a postcard with two new #FarmersMarkets in the area (in addition to an existing one nearby in #SacoME)!

Here is the first one that was highlighted...

#DaytonME Farmer's Market
Saturdays from 8:00am - 2:00pm at 24 Jessica May Road in Dayton

“What makes the farmers market such a special place is that you’re actually creating community around food.”

When I saw a gorgeous knife in the hands of a local chef, I had to ask about it.

Turns out it was a custom-forged knife made by Tom Stegner, a knifesmith here in Kitchener! Needless to say, you *know* I wanted to talk (and write) about him for my CBCKW Food column ☺️

And I got knife tips (😉) for the home cook, from Conestoga College's Sean Duffy :)

I’m in Mumbles Market today until 1pm. It is my first market of the year! I have jigsaws, photos, cards, placemats and coasters - several new photos from this year too.
