Saturday May 30/26

The morning chillโ€™s almost gone. Thereโ€™s blue sky. Itโ€™s a good start to an Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market (OSFM).

Until 1 p.m.

This is a new product. Itโ€™s based on what cats would eat if they were eating rodents out in the wild. Itโ€™s fascinatingly gruesome. Ask us about it.

Meat free.

There’s over 60 booths at this year’s event. I’ll add my impressions of my favourite vendors in my blog. My opinions are my own (and are supportive, 0% snark). I RESPECT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING THE RISK TO SHOW OFF THEIR WARES. This event is a celebration of small business owners. Come on by and check it out, eh.

This space is right across from the TD bank.

Sunday, July 20 at the Handicraft House.

The weather’s clearing up. Stop on your way to-or-from your travels at the Handicraft House and Trading Post.

Vendors are on sight and ready to show you their wares.

Don’t forget — dog biscuits are available (TS made extra stock, with assistance from PN and The Friendly Owl’s Nest owlettes).

TS processes her own sweet potato flour. It’s the only way she can ensure its quality (“and that’s why she has to charge a bit extra, compared to other flavours”…sez PN).

Hummingbird viewing, a la ZeFrank.

How do you waste the most time every day?

I enjoy UNSTRUCTURED time watching our hummingbird feeding stations, and the drama it entails!

Time wasting? Nah.

Dog biscuits? Thereโ€™s ALWAYS time to sell dog treats at the Handicraft House.

New vendor on site too.
Weโ€™re running 3 feeders. Buttcheek sounds ARE a thing.

A new marketโ€ฆ

For BE AS HAPPY AS YOUR DOG and BLACK DOG BISCUITS. Eventually, Wiarton will get warm and pleasant.

Windchill, yes.

The Friday marketโ€™s across from Pinkertonโ€™s Auto Supply and Bread Bowl. Apparently, the siteโ€™s called the parkette.
