Farmer’s Market gearing up for another season

By Delaine Volk

We think that the last snowflake has fallen, so it is time once again to start thinking about the Farmer’s Market.

On April 26 the committee members, executive and two employees of the Town of Oyen met to discuss this year’s Farmers’ Market.

Betty Walker has stepped down as market manager and will be taken over by Delaine Volk.

Joan Mick has resigned as secretary and Candace Clampitt has agreed to replace her. We wish to thank Betty and Joan for their many years of dedication and time committed to BCAS FM. They will still be present at markets in different capacities.

At this point in time, Covid is still very much ruling his ugly head - so many restrictions will still be in place as last year. So do not look for many changes this year.

Luncheons at this time will be take out only but we are looking at the option of moving picnic tables to the north end of the curling rink/east doors of the arena. It was brought up whether pre-booking your meals with the sponsoring luncheon providers might make it easier for them to estimate how many meals to make and reduce food waste. Any groups interested in providing lunch at the FM must apply to AHS two weeks prior to their meal date for a food handling permit.

We are looking at June 11 as start up date. If you would like to book a vendor table or provide a luncheon please text or call Delaine at 403-664-0320.
