When planning our kayaking schedule for the summer, both days on the weekend were booked. I had passed on the July 7 date because I wanted to attend the festival. No one responded until Alison mentioned it and then others got on board, and it was the "cool" thing to do on a summer weekend. John and I attended, found Step and Karl and were joined by Paula. We unfortunately missed Alison.
Karl purchased a huge jar of honey from the Cowichan Valley. I got a sample and decided I would wait to purchase a jar at the Moss Street Market.
I've signed up for organic produce from Saanich Organics, although I'm on a waiting list I hope to be able to do a pick up. In the meantime I will be visiting their booth at the Moss Street Market too. I purchased a bag of salad greens, made a fantastic salad and still have half a bag of fresh greens.
I tried lots of samples of protein bars, bison&cranberry sausage, berry protein smoothie mix, hemp protein mix (I've purchased both at Thrifty's), picked up cereal samples, protein bars, and bought some tasty dried fruit from Ten Thousand Villages.
We saw an interesting woodwind harp, had a turkey smokie from a BBQ cart (the smokies are available at the Village Butcher in Oak Bay) and tried Valhalla Farms jam and I would have walked away with jars of the stuff but I didn't have enough money.
This is the third festival, and I was really impressed. I'm looking forward to next year!! I certainly will be attending.
