Thanks to all who came out last Saturday and supported the Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Market at Ross St. Plaza! For some of us, it was a much-needed social interaction! We have put in many safety measures in place this year, including hiring someone to sanitize everyone's hands upon entry (or there is the option to use water and soap, or use your own).
Some of the items available this week include potting plants (vegetable, herbs, medicinal plants), microgreens, salad mixes, rhubarb, dried morels, eggs, smokies, and honey. Stay up up date by visiting the market Facebook page: facebook.com/downtownsalmonarmfarmersmarket Look forward to seeing you there again tomorrow!

Reminder that each week you can also order online at www.localline.ca/salmon-arm-market. We will have curbside pick up this year for those who prepay online (via e-transfer, visa or another online payment). Remember to select "Salmon Arm market" as pick up location.
There is a video to help with online ordering: https://share.vidyard.com/watch/tGuYb1tXTp7XjMcwNLgUJT ... See more

Thanks to John at the Family Resource Centre for putting together this wonderful video clip of our time at the Shuswap Community Teaching Garden this past Friday when we hosted our Pallet breakdown workshop and Potato Planting Party! It shows the beautiful soil that we work with well and the determined work by volunteers! The lady in this video holding the worm is Darlene and she is 80 years old! She works circles around us and is up every second day working in this garden! There are more videos from Friday on the Garden's Facebook Page. Be sure to like it to encourage more people to see what's happening! ... See more

A Compilation of moments from May 15th 2020

The stuff of life... and more so than ever! I cringe when I hear the phrase "the new normal" or wanting to get back to "normal". Our previous food system (and many systems) weren't really working for us anymore as a society. Perhaps we shouldn't go back to "normal" ... perhaps we need to forge a new way forward. ... See more
