There is a new weekly farmers’ market being held every Friday afternoon at Brentwood Community Centre.

Hall board member Robert Thomas, who is organizing the market, said the emphasis is on local.

Sixteen vendors have signed up, most of them are from New Lowell and Brentwood, to sell produce, cookies, spices, preserves, sauces, cut flowers, maple syrup, honey, sourdough bread, crafts, candles, jewellery, leggings and home decor.

Thomas said it’s all about bringing the community together and increasing activities at the hall.

As the growing season progresses,

Thomas is hoping to have more produce and is encouraging gardeners to take a booth to sell their surplus.

Thomas and his wife Bobbi Curran were selling their honey at the first market. At Sunnidale Farms they do farm gate sales but having pitched the idea of the farmers’ market, Thomas signed up as one of the vendors.

The hall chose Friday afternoon hoping to benefit from the weekend traffic on County Road 10.

The market is open every Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. until Oct. 9.

Tables cost $10 per market with all proceeds going to the hall.
