Todayโ€™s market experienced +41C humidex conditions. Gusting winds. And overheating patrons. We enjoyed the event and are REALLY glad to be recovering in our (Evolve Builders Grp. [Guelph]) strawbale home in the forest. Cooks, your Mitsubishi heat-pump is providing cooling relief!

In the meantime, drop by the market to pick up animal treats.
