Market Day

Beans

Green beans. What is there to say, really? They're pretty common and people like them, but does anyone actually get excited about green beans being in season? Perhaps peas steal the spotlight; if beans were ready first, would peas be boring instead? Oh, the pondering of a farmers' market employee...

Regardless, Lincoln Gardens has plenty of green beans available (probably yellow, too) and most of our other growers will have them soon, as well. If you count down the days until green beans are ready, by all means – tell us why!

Books

On most Wednesday markets this summer, you'll find a shared booth occupied by both SaskBooks and the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild (SWG). The two organizations have partnered in order to garner awareness of Saskatchewan publishers and SWG programs. At this booth, you'll be able to purchase a variety of books published in SK and learn what SWG has to offer.

The books available will vary each market, the majority of which are not only published in SK, but also written by SK authors. Genres include: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, cookbooks, and childrens' books.

Who's back?
