October 6 is our last Tuesday market for 2020!

It always feels a bit surreal to be at our last market, especially this season when so much was uncertain.  In May the thing we knew for certain is that we were committed to farming and contributing to food security for this neighbourhood and beyond.  We weren't totally sure how we would get the food to you and if we would be well enough etc, etc.  As a society, we are still living with many unknowns but it was certain that you showed up and ate well this summer!  You soaked in the beauty of this land, the lavish flowers, the many weeks of fennel and spinach, the glorious tomatoes, the tender lettuce (wow - you ate lettuce!) and loved on our goats.  We were blown away each week but the numbers of customers and the way you were able to make it a safe and warm shopping experience. 
From Paul and I and all of us at Kingfisher Farm - thank you!
