In This time of global health crisis
We want our community to remain safe and healthy. This means having access to fresh, wholesomely grown food, but it may also mean remaining at a distance from one another. We would like to offer this online store as a way for you to buy delicious local food and locally made products and safely have it packed and ready for pick-up each week.

How our system works:
- Our Online Store is now open and taking orders from 5pm every Monday until 8pm every Thursday. Visit the site to see items our vendors are offering. You will be able to do all your market shopping in one order. Go to the 'shopping cart' page and pay for the order. By Thursday evening you should have your order in for Sunday morning pick up. :)
- On Sunday mornings we will set up in Victoria Park – look for signage as we may either be in the gazebo or by the parking lot. There will be ample shade and coolers for all the order items to be safely packed and held. There is hand sanitizer, gloves and masks available for volunteers. If needed.
- Vendors will deliver all items ordered before the pick up, and volunteers will pack your order.
Pick up time will be within 11am and 12pm. Please arrive within this pick up time, to avoid any back ups or over-crowding.
When you arrive tell us your name and we will get your order together for you. - If you cannot make your pickup for any reason, you can send another person or contact us to make other arrangements. If it is on the day of pickup, please call the Market Manager.
- Finally, If you are feeling unwell please stay home. You can send another person to pick up your order or contact us to make other arrangements. We will be available via email, website contact form and by phone on the day of pick up.
