Local & Farm Fresh: A few reasons to warm up to Christmas

The Victoria Downtown Public Market Society winter market is about celebrating and sharing all that’s great in local food. Our market this Saturday will be full of the normal goodies as well as some extra festive treats! This is one of the best places to get hold of fresh and tasty Vancouver Island delicacies necessary for your Christmas table.

A few reasons to not miss this market:
Turkeys – plan to pick up your holiday turkey from Terra Nossa Farm – certified organic farm, raising turkeys on certified organic feed and pasture. These are happy turkeys that have been hand raised on a farm that values that the turkeys be allowed to be turkeys – be outside when they want, eat bugs and grass and have as happy and natural life.
