As Black History Month is coming to a close, we are looking for ways to support Black farmers all year round! Check out this list that Joe at Atiba Farm put together of Black-owned farms to support in Ontario. Atiba Farm will be back at the market soon with more greens, along with Sundance Harvest, and Deeper Roots Farm and the Ubuntu Community Collective will return in the spring.
We've been notified that per the Province's guidelines proof of vaccination will no longer be required to enter the building after March 1. This means that tomorrow is the last day that we will be checking vaccination status. Masks will be still be required to enter the building, per Toronto bylaw 541-2020. We will continue the order pickup and shopping services for those of you who prefer to stay outdoors.
Don't forget to check out our blog post about the huge impact two years of COVID have had on our farmers and vendors. We've been inspired by their perseverance and continual determination to adapt to this new reality, but it's been a very difficult time, and we're grateful to them for pushing through, time and time again. We're also grateful to you for recognizing the importance of local family farms and food producers, and for continuing to strengthen local food systems by supporting our market.
You can find the vendor roster for this week with contact information below. We also have the complete roster on our website; don't forget to check in with your favourite vendors to find out how you can order from them during the week.
