Well… It’s arrived at last! We’ve been planning and prepping all winter. Tomorrow morning you can all enjoy the fruits of our labours (as long as you come see us at the Farmer’s Market at the AGI Hall). Or head over to Village Foods. The market hours have been extended this year, from 10am-1pm, every Saturday until Thanksgiving weekend. We can’t promise that we’ll have bread until 1pm, so it’s best to come as early as you’re able. Lots of new produce vendors too this year, so it should be a great market season. See you tomorrow!!
