Summer is finally here!

 

Glo Bakery - Wholesome Food Made Fun

 

Opening day at the Harbourside Organic Market started with a bang, and by bang, I’m talking thunderclap.

Though the weather tried to put a damper on things, it didn’t damper the spirits at the market, as people eagerly flocked to the market on the real first day of summer.

Due to our crazy spring weather, and odd climate change, 4 of the 7 farmers were unable to make it to opening day, but no matter, things were still hopping at the market, with tons of new booths, awesome new products and services, and lot’s of new and familiar faces.

It was a long eight months, man, been waiting for this forever, and I’m happy to say it did not dissapoint!

Tip Of The Week:

The Millionaire’s Shortbread from Van Rae Woodcrafts, Baking and Condiments booth. 

I’m talking mouthwatering chocolate, sweet and sticky caramel, backed by a smooth, buttery shortbread crunch.

Yum!

It was nice to hear Kim and Frank Koren playing at the market, they are a very talented duo, with great soul stirring songs, and are always a pleasure to the senses.

On another note:

The ironic things with the farmers not being able to make it to opening day, is that it helped focus people’s attention on all the great new booths, and on all the fantastic informative booths.
