We did come and enjoy the music, food, people and the festival this weekend. It was awesome! The music was great, food was incredible and we left with a fistful of information and a gratifying feeling about being part of something good.
We had a booth at the Peninsula Country Market at the Central Saanich Fairgrounds on Saturday (9am-1pm). There was plenty of time to talk with vendors and learn about their products. What a great place for children and dogs! The kids have a lot of space to run around and burn off energy with out [...]

Sidney Market
The Organic Islands team crashed the Sidney Market on Thursday! Getting a table might take more hand-shakes and hugs but it didn’t stop us from jumping in with the crowd. The Sidney Market was packed! What a great way to display some excellent products and entertainment for our Anacortes neighbors. It was wonderful [...]

Sidney Summer Market on Thursdays
The Sidney Market is one of my favourites which I used to frequent every Thursday while my family was living in Sidney. It’s grown since I was last there, which was about two years ago and it was so much fun to be back there again. I’m happy to say there were more eco-friendly, organic vendors and local farms including some of our exhibitors who gladly put up festival posters in their booth. A special mention here for:
Enviro Gem promotes the use of environmental cleaning products, micro fiber, air and water purification.
Hangin’ Around Hammocks & Gifts specializes in fair trade hammocks and baskets and when not at the market you can visitor their store on Quadra Street just south of Hillside.
Sunset Bay Honey Farm’s wildflower honey is harvested from the sub-alpine mountains of the Cowichan Valley near Nanaimo. Sunset Farm likes to say: “You’ve tried the rest, now try the best our Island has to offer” (I bought a beautiful golden-orb shaped candle holder made from beeswax from Sunset with the CHinese charactor for “honesty’ written on it for my husband’s birthday – he loved it!)
and Sunterra Farm on East Saanich Road in Saanicton.
