You're all aware by now of the horrible decision by 'The City Manager' to move the Wednesday Farmers' Market off Baker Street and the negative effect it has had on the livelihoods of many local farmers. Currently the Wednesday Markets are just not worth the time and energy to attend, currently sales are ranging from a 50% - 70% drop, which is not enough to cover operating costs, employee wages, et cetera and also comes with a huge amount of food waste. Completely changing the business model mid season in itself is quiet difficult and comes with many challenges. However I've decided to add a mid -season 10 week option to our 'Vegetable Box Offerings' for the rest of the Season...

10 Week Offering - $350 - Start & finish date optional (last box mid October)

Please head over to our website for all the details, photos, testimonials, costs, ect and if you have any questions feel free to reach out. The link below should take you right there...

This is my opinion on the whole Wednesday Farmers' Market change...

The change was handled horribly!! One weeks notice was a spit in the face to all the hard work and planning that goes into growing food and providing this community with local food security.

If 'The City' or whoever made this decision, (as no one seems to be able to own up and take responsibility for making the call), had even the slightness idea they where planning on moving it, we should have been told then. Whether that was at the end of last Season, during the Winter or before we all applied and signed up in the Spring. No one woke up last week and just decided to move the Farmers Market.

As a local farmer crop planning is done over the Winter, we sit down go through sales reports and plan accordingly. Crops were seeded and grown for their specific market streams. Wednesday Market customers are different from Saturday Market customers. A high percentage of Wednesday customers are popping down before work, during lunch breaks or walking from their homes. This demographic was completely lost at the Wednesday market down at Cottonwood this week and sales reflected that. The extra walk to Cottonwood is a huge one and anyone who says otherwise is being intentionally obstinate. Let me paint a quick picture... You expect your elderly grandma to walk an extra 6 or more blocks in 30 degree Summer heat, cross a highway, then carry all their produce back, its completely ridiculous!! This loss of a demographic should have been obvious to any clear minded person who thought on the subject for more than 30 seconds.

If I had known the change was coming I would have planned my season entirely different. Whether that was dropping the Wednesday completely, moving more towards wholesale (which would have involved growing less variety but higher quantities), or pushing harder with my 'Vegetable Box Offering'. However as seeds have been ordered and crops put in the ground nothing can be changed at this point.

Sure there are many benefits to the Cottonwood falls location but when it comes down to it, the Farmers' Market and I'll say the again, the FARMERS' Market, is how I make a living and this change and how it was affected, has severally impacted that.

If you're worried about the current international climate, want to support local Canadian farmers, unsure of where food prices will go this year, lock in your Season's worth of naturally grown vegetables now!!!

Each week you'll be dropped off roughly $33 worth of seasonal, naturally and organically (not certified) grown produce. Depending on your situation we aim for this box to be about 50% - 70% of your vegetable needs for the week. We don't want you to feel constricted, so this percentage gives you the freedom to come see us or many of the other amazing local farms down at the Farmers' Market.

In our veggie boxes we focus on 'The Staples', hence the name. We want the boxes to be full of all the crowd favourites. Some greens, basic root vegetables, Summer crops once they kick in and storage crops in the Fall. We just want to supply you with your weekly staples, vegetables you can create a broad range of recipes with.

Here's a link to our website for more details, testimonials & sign up form...

Feeling super conflicted about whether I want to use this mode of communication anymore, so it's been a while since I posted much. As somewhat of an update, here are some plants tucked away to help protect from the cold in our new big ol' greenhouse.

There is so much uncertainty right now, but one thing you can be certain of is that your local small scale farmer is working their a$$ off to grow as much food as possible for the community for as long as they can. Like getting things going in February so you can have it super early spring, for example.

The money you spend with local farmers helps build community resilience and supports our local economy, so much of that money is reinvested to grow more food, or goes to employ local people, purchase local materials, etc.

Most local farmers don't raise or fluctuate their prices anywhere near as much as you find at a supermarket. If you are concerned about the price of food this year there's no better way to relieve some stress than to commit to a local CSA farm. (Community support agriculture: generally upfront paid local produce boxes/bags that help farmers plan and finance the farm in the early season)

We are going to open up some more spaces on our bi-weekly delivery CSA (farmers choice or flex shares available from Salmo to Rossland and Castlegar, and Salmo to Nelson routes), or if you want a more "whole diet" CSA we are also partnering with neighbors where we supply veggies alongside their cheese and meat CSA (on-farm pickup). Send me a DM if you are interested in either program.

This community is so fortunate that there are so many options for CSAs of all shapes and sizes, for example, [if not us] try:

Just to name a few, with more popping up all the time!

You can choose to support hyper local and secure your fresh, nutritious veggies and more through supporting small scale farmers. Join a CSA and rest easy knowing your fresh veggies are secure.

Do it. Support super local. Join a CSA!
