  Saturday through October, rain or shine\n\nWelcome back dedicated mar
 ket goers! We hope you are as excited as we are for the 2010 market se
 ason to start. It's shaping up to be another exciting, fun-filled year
  at the farm, and we hope you'll join us this weekend and many more.\n
 \nThe name of the game this week is greens greens greens! We are very 
 excited to offer an amazing assortment of green leafy veggies at marke
 t this week, including arugula, mizuna, ruby streaks, kale, chard, and
  spinach. Also - excellent supplies of our ever-popular salad mix - ge
 t it in the early season before the heat causes it to become scarce. R
 ead on below for a full list of what to expect on the stands tomorrow.
  Our fresh herbs are also growing like mad, so it's time to get creati
 ve in the kitchen! New this season - mixed herb bunches! At market thi
 s week we will have an 'Italian Herb' medley including oregano rosemar
 y and thyme, as well as a 'Hearty Herb' medley including oregano, sage
 , thyme and savory.\n\nMarket details:\n\n* Payment information: Cash 
 is the preferred (and quickest!) method of payment at the market. We a
 re unable to process Interac or credit card transactions. We'll accept
  cheque payment for purchases over $30. Many vendors only accept cash,
  so make sure you are prepared for the day!\n\n* Parking: Please park 
 outside the farm gate in the lot or along South Campus Road. Three spo
 ts in our parking lot are reserved for persons of limited mobility. As
  parking space is limited, it's even better if you can carpool, bus, b
 ike or walk to the farm! See our website for directions. Please drive 
 carefully along South Campus Road and watch for pedestrians, children 
 and cyclists! Bike racks are available inside of the farm gates.\n\n* 
 Plastic bag charge: In order to reduce our consumption of plastic and 
 lessen the ecological footprint of our market, we charge customers 10 
 cents per plastic produce bag used. (This charge is for the tear-off r
 oll bags and not for pre-bagged items). We encourage you to bring your
  plastic produce bags back and reuse them and let our cashiers know th
 is. Thanks for your support in this effort!\n\n* Bring your own shoppi
 ng bags! In addition to reusing your produce bags, please make sure to
  bring your own shopping bags to pack your purchases in and take them 
 home. We will gladly accept donations of clean, used grocery bags to h
 ave on hand.\n\n* Eggs: No Eggs this week! When the hens start to lay 
 (in the next couple of weeks), egg quantities will be limited (the hen
 s can only produce so much!) and so we will continue our limit of one 
 dozen eggs per family.\n\n* Line-ups: We operate on a first-come, firs
 t serve basis, therefore line-ups may take 30 minutes or more when the
  market first opens at 9am. Please visit us after 10:00am for much fas
 ter service. Some specialty items such as eggs and berries may be sold
  out, but we maintain a great selection of veggies all through the mor
 ning We greatly appreciate your patience with this matter!\n\n* Farm T
 ours: This season we will be offering UBC Farm tours to the public at 
 11:00am each Saturday. Please meet on the hill above the market by the
  picnic tables five minutes to 11:00. Tours will be approximately 30 m
 inutes in length and are by donation. *Saturday Farm Tours tours are i
 ntended for individual market customers; organized groups interested i
 n tours need to book tours ahead of time with farm staff by emailing\n
