Anderson Farm Farmer’s Market
At the Walden Fall Fair
Saturday, September 11, 2010
New this year at the Walden Fall Fair – a covered Farmer’s Market area featuring 10+ local vendors and food organizations!
Make plans to stock up on local veggies, honey, maple syrup, jams and jellies, baked goods and more. We will have a wheelbarrel service to your car if you can’t carry it all!
Look for the large tent (generously donated to us by Northern Lights Festival Boreal) near the entrance to the fair, beside the vintage car show.
List of vendors (and what they will bring):
Eat Local Sudbury (vegetables and dry and canned goods from local producers)
Beaulieu Farms (corn, beans, potatoes, and a variety of baked goods)
Our Garden (pumpkins, other veggies, and flavoured vinegars and jellies)
Sucrerie Seguin (honey and maple syrup products)
Spill the Beans Farm (potatoes, beans, other veggies, and homemade soap)
Heart & Soil Gardens (sprouts and sprouted wheat bread)
Ice Lake Cottage Farm (assortment of veggies and baked goods)
Grassy Lake Apiaries (honey and honey products)
FarmON Alliance (information for new farmers, gov. publications, and info on
local internship opportunities)
Sudbury Soil and Crop Association (info on membership and local initiatives)
See you there!

Sustainable Agriculture Course at Fleming College
http://www.flemingc.on.ca/index.cfm/go/programs/sub/display/code/SAG.cfm
The three-semester Sustainable Agriculuture program is designed for new and
beginner farmers seeking an intensive, applied learning experience in
sustainable, ecological or natural farming methods. Farming practices in
this program are based on the principles of environmental stewardship,
farmer profitability, social responsibility and community health.
Following the progression of the farm year, course work will focus on the
principles and practices of sustainable agriculture, small farm operations
and viability, and the exploration of new and expanding niche markets. You
will also examine strategies for direct marketing and new farm business
models. The culmination of this learning is the development of your own
business case and farm plan. With experienced farmers and practitioners as
your guides, the program is enriched by farm field days, site visits,
community-based learning activities and excellent resource materials. An
18-week summer co-op experience creates further opportunities for
specialization.
