Farm news

The St. John's Farmers' Market will be opening this weekend on Saturday June 6 from 9am-2pm at the Lion’s Club Chalet on Bonaventure Avenue.

Interested citizens in town have been wanting a farmers' market for quite some time. An interest group formed two years ago and had some hiccups with location changes and getting interest from farmers and producers. At this time of year, you'll find more crafts and hand-made goods than actual produce. But that shouldn't stop you from heading down there...you might just pick up a lovely homemade pie or unique local jewelery.

If you're looking for the real-deal farm experience, you should head to Lester's Farm on Brookfield Rd. or the Organic Farm in Portugal Cove-St. Phillip's.

Did I miss a farm spot? Let me know!
