Downtown's Impromptu Organic Farmer's Market May 18, 2007

Drop by Food for Thought, located in the Oxfam building on Duckworth Street on Saturday mornings and you'll find a little farmers market out on the sidewalk.

Looking for local organic veggies but don't want to pay a fortune at the grocery store for them? Wanting free-range poultry but can't figure out how to get on the mysterious "Chicken List"? Want to connect with this town's die-hard organic following? You'll find it all here.

The owner, nancy Maher tells me that it is a fun and friendly place to share information about organic food supplies around the St. John's area. She also says you have to get there by 9:30 am 'cause you never know who's going to show up with what and how how fast it's gonna disappear'.
