TOMORROW - BSPCA February Market! Veggie Service Tues 4th February

[Julia Farmer]

Hallo Dear Friends 

Well it's finally here - our first Farmer's Market at BSPCA is this Saturday! We have a fabulous line up of stalls which are listed on the FB event page (see below) and at my stall we have the biggest selection of vegetables that we have had for a long time! This includes our bold and beautiful orange pumpkins (they are huge but slices will also be available), large marrow, butternut, spanspek melon, egg plants and yellow beans. For more information please see below and the attached poster. Thank you. 

I have added some more events to the line up for February and March (see schedule below). They are the Education Africa Fair (poster attached) where I will be having a stall for produce and preserves, and Building Resilience, Growing Happiness, Together which includes a motivational talk from yours truly and refreshments at The Patio Restaurant. More details for both events to follow.
