What a beautiful day at the Farmers Market!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by today! I truly appreciate all the support, and I hope you enjoy all your Crooked Jar goodies! 🫙

Unfortunately, my schedule doesn’t line up with the upcoming Farmers Market dates, so this was my only one for now.

I’ll keep you posted on where my next little adventure takes me! In the meantime, you can always pick up your favourites at my stand, or I’m happy to arrange delivery.

Thank you again for supporting my little business 🌻♥️

Thank you to Alice who came and spent the day with me as well. Always good company 😊

Made some homemade tomato juice today for my husband to enjoy over the winter! 🍅❤️

I ordered these beautiful tomatoes through 🌻The Bunk House🌻here in Merritt, and they came from 🌻Hill Top Garden🌻 They were absolutely gorgeous tomatoes and perfect for canning!

And can we take a moment for my vintage canner?! I absolutely love it! I use it for my home canning, and for some reason, doing it the old-fashioned way just makes the whole process that much better. 😂

🌻 Valley Graze is hosting another Summer Market this Friday! 🌻

There will be so many amazing local vendors to check out!

Unfortunately, The Crooked Jar won’t be able to make it to this one, but I definitely encourage you to stop by and support all of the wonderful vendors who will be there.

These markets are such a great way to spend a summer evening — good people, a beautiful atmosphere, and so many incredible local businesses to discover.

A huge thank you to Valley Graze for supporting so many local small businesses in our community. It truly means so much!

Have an amazing market night, I look forward to hearing all about it 😃

📣 THIS FRIDAY Sept 4📯
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

⏰ 4:30–8:00 PM

Come hang out with us and support your neighbours! ❤️

We have over 20 amazing vendors showcasing their hobbies, talents and skills. From baking, crocheting, girl guide cookies, pottery, art and sewing to plants, clothing and so much more, there really is something for everyone!

And the Valley Graze team…
Okay, mostly just Michelle 😂… will be spending the week cooking up a BIG batch of chilli! 🌶️

🥣 Chilli will be BY DONATION, with all donations going to our local Food Bank.

Shop local. Eat some chilli. Support the Food Bank. Visit with your neighbours. Buy something handmade. ❤️

Small towns are pretty special when we show up for each other.

Let’s pack the place and show these vendors some LOVE!

See you Friday from 4:30–8:00!
