University of Alberta Farmers Market – A dream come true! November 5, 2011

Nikki Way and her helpers put on a great Farmers’ Market event in the U of A SUB on Friday, the 21st of October during the University’s Sustainability week.

Farmers, gardeners, processors and crafters were all there along with others with displays about food and sustainability organizations. It was an honour to be there with our GFSA display and our book draw.

This was Nikki’s dream shared at a meeting held by ECOS on Feb 2011! Atta Go Nikki! and all your helpers! Hope we get to see this at U of A more often! A great step to connecting students to local food and farmers!
