The Yara Community Gardens annual Farmers’ Market will be expanding this year. The 12th annual edition of the event will feature a local trade fair to go along with the pancake breakfast and the farmers’ market that features produce grown in the local community gardens. “All of the produce that we sell is donated from the gardeners themselves in our pesticide-free gardens, with all proceeds going to Hunger In Moose Jaw and their various programs. Hunger In Moose Jaw’s Child Nutrition Program is where the bulk of the funds go,” said Jeremy Zacharias, garden co-ordinator for the Yara Community Gardens. “This year, Riverside Mission has partnered with us again, as well, in hosting a pancake breakfast at the farmers’ market. We’re glad to be able to partner with them in that. We’ve expanded the farm-

ers’ market to a little bit of a trade fair hosted by some of our local gardeners.” The Yara Community Gardens will be holding one farmers’ market on August 25 from 8 a.m. to noon on the 200 block of Home Street West.

“It continues to grow every year ... to expand and look for new opportunities to serve the whole community of Moose Jaw.” - Jeremy Zacharias, garden co-ordinator The Community Gardens will also host a Pumpkin Harvest Festival for the

eighth straight year on October 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Pumpkin Harvest Festival is held on Grey Avenue beside the East End Diamonds. The event is also hosted in partnership with the East Side Community Association. “This year we’re having a bit of a farmers’ market at the Pumpkin Festival as well,” Zacharias said. The Yara Community Gardens began in 2006 and continues to grow in its 12th year of operation. “It continues to grow every year and this year we’ve added a number of raised garden beds as well for seniors and even just for folks who don’t need the stress and strain of bending,” Zacharias said. “We’re up to 36 garden boxes this year and we continue to expand and look for new opportunities to serve the whole community of Moose Jaw.”
