Growing interest in farmers’ market
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
Boulay and her husband manage their own small farm over in St-Pascal-Baylon. Last year she set up as a vendor in a small outdoor market in Rockland that another person had organized. When the foun- der of that project had to move away from Rockland, Boulay decided to take on the job of organizing a summer farmers’ market for Rockland. She made her decision in June after doing some heavy thinking on the idea, feeling that she was up for the challenge. «I had a month to get my vendors, my business licence,» she said. «It was alldone in a very short time.» The Rockland Farmers’ Market opened for business in mid-July under the open- air gazebo located between the Jean-Marc Lalonde Arena building and the Coco Lemay baseball diamond in Parc Simon For a first summer’s operation, Boulay and her fellow marketers seemhappy so far with the recep- tion they have enjoyed from residents and people dropping in from out of town. «We’re quite busy usually from about 10 o’ clock to around three-thirty,» she said. The market will remain open until mid- October before closing up for the winter. Boulay is already looking ahead to next year, finding more potential vendors, and also thinking about a possible full weekend setup for Saturdays and Sundays.
It’s small right now but Mary Lynn Boulay has big ideas and hopes for Rockland’s new Farmers’ Market. «Because I really think Rockland should have its own market,» she said.
