Market Notes from Noni
Our final market of 2018 is this Saturday. Can you believe the season is finally coming to a close? We'll be open from 10 am - 12 pm for the most ultimate market of this year. Feel free to stock up on storage crops and eggs as our produce won't be available through the cold winter months.
Thank you all for sharing another season with our team. It makes our hearts happy to know our food has nourished you and your communities this year. For now the Farm is a quiet space blanketed in cover crops, but we'll return in the new year when days are longer and sunnier!
A staple winter crop, red beets are a versatile veggie to keep in your crisper. Grated into a salad or slaw, cooked into a hearty borscht soup, or roasted in the oven, many of your winter dishes will benefit from a pop of beet-red colour and flavour!
Three Winter Markets down and we're onto our last market of the year!
Featured vendors this week include: A Bread Affair, Erd Soap, Nicki Muir, Oyster & King, and Seed of life. These vendors are crowd favourites and offer the best products for your kitchen and home.
This week's market recipe blog features fennel, which has a sweet, fragrant, anise-like flavour and pairs perfectly with this rich and creamy cheese dip. It will be a huge hit at any dinner party, with a side of fondue items such as roasted veggies, bread, and crackers!

One of our partners, Fresh Roots, is looking for eager members to join their team as they expand their operation. They are looking for a farm manager that can help them grow more food for next year so they can serve more community and school members.
Roots on the Roof will be holding an end-of-growing season shindig and they want you to be there! They will be having live music, food, and tons of activities for you to participate in. Bring your own cups and bowls, mingle, reflect, and immerse yourself in a unique garden atmosphere.
