The weekly farmers’ market usually held in the Student Courtyard will relocate September 18 to the residence quad to accommodate the Campus Community Barbecue.

The local harvest is in high gear; it’s peak season for apples and pears, primetime for beans and cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage, and a great time to shop for root veggies like beets or rutabagas.

The campus market also showcases prepared foods and handicrafts. It operates from 1 to 6 p.m. every Thursday through October 9. The residence quad is the open space between Macdonald and Essex halls, north of Vanier and Laurier halls.
