Bloor Borden Farmers Market Wants Volunteers

This item was in Adam Vaughan's latest newsletter.
"Bloor Borden Farmer’s Market – Call for volunteers
The Bloor.Borden Farmers' Market is looking for volunteers! Run by a grassroots group of residents who live in the Annex, Huron Sussex and Harbord Village neighbourhoods, the Bloor.Borden Farmers' Market is a certified local farmers' market featuring real farmers selling only what they produce during the growing season.
Each week, starting the beginning of June, patrons to the market enjoy fruit & vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, bread, honey, herbs & flowers, plus free weekly draws.
Volunteers are needed to help organize and promote the market: manage the community booth, greet patrons, and promote the weekly draws. This is a great way to
meet your neighbours, support local farmers and contribute to Toronto's burgeoning local food movement.
Please contact john.corso@sympatico.ca if you're interested in becoming a volunteer.
Be sure to visit the market on opening day Wednesday June 3 and every Wednesday till
the end of October. Don't miss the Grand opening on June 24!
They try to be Green:
Bring your own Bags!
The Bloor.Borden Farmers' Market will take place:
Date: Every Wednesday from
June 3 through October 28
Time: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Location: At the east side of the Lippincott Street "Green P" parking lot, just south of Bloor."

I checked the market out once or twice last summer. I think it's a lovely addition to our area, but the location, which is a parking lot, certainly lacks charm.
I think one of the secrets to the success of the Dufferin Grove Farmer's Market is its magnificent park setting.
Cheers,
