on the 17th.
Available at the market:

- breads, pies & pastries and
more!
WHY: Delivered from the farmer’s
fields to the heart of Locke Street,
families young and old will be able
to access the freshest of locally
grown products. The farms are local,
sustainable and managed by families
who care for their land and their
animals.
Calling all Locke-A-Vores!
The term “Locavore” was
developed a few years ago to capture
what it means to support local and
sustainable food systems. While chatting
with local farmers, Tom Ratcliffe of
Melrose United Church was inspired
to say, “Be a Locke-a-Vore”.
And so it will be that the people of
the Locke St. neighbourhoods will have
a unique opportunity this summer to
be a “Locke-a-Vore”.
