Farmers’ Market to open on May 28
By Jayme Mast
All being well, the Aberfoyle Farmers’ Market is poised to
open on May 28. The board has been busy the last two
months recruiting vendors to add to our roster.
There’s no question that COVID had an impact on turnout
at the market and the range of product available, yet on the
last Saturday we were open, there was an estimated 1,500
visitors, ending the season on a strong note.
Several of the long-time favourites will be back - Parker
Family Farm, The Burrs and the Bees, and Top Market Meats,
as well as some of the newer vendors who joined last year.
While we are still finalizing arrangements with some ven-
dors, we are pleased to announce that we will have at least
two new farm vendors joining us.
The Cabbage Patch Farm is located right here in Puslinch.
Felix is a first generation farmer with a passion for tackling
food security sustainably.
We also have Forêt Mushrooms, also from Puslinch, and
Mallory will be bringing both cultivated and foraged gour-
met mushrooms.

Why Ted Arnott on June 2nd?
Trust
Ted Arnott keeps his word.
At election time, he makes no promises except his best efforts on behalf of all of us.
It’s a promise he has kept for almost 32 years.
Experience
First elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1990, Ted Arnott’s constituents have
re-elected him ever since. He has served in both Government and Opposition,
and he’s always been willing to work across party lines to get things done.
Dedication
Throughout the pandemic, Ted Arnott responded to literally thousands of
constituent inquiries. At the same time, he served in a challenging leadership role
in the Legislature as it continued to meet, in person.
In the next provincial Parliament, MPPs need to listen, seek consensus and work together.
If re-elected, he will continue to be a voice of reason,
working hard on behalf of all of us as the Province re-builds.
