Year-Round Local Market Many residents in the areas surrounding Komoka look forward to the weeks between May long weekend and Thanksgiving because they have the Komoka Community Market (KCM) to visit for fresh, local produce and goods. What could be better than that? The answer: buying fresh and local throughout the winter, too! Local families, vendors and customers all benefit from the KCM in the spring, summer, and fall, and often ask if KCM could run a winter market or extend its season. This winter, KCM organizers found a way. The KCM Food Hub+ is an online portal where customers can order from their favourite participating vendors and pick up their orders at a central spot. This month’s recipe uses products from ReBread and Small World Mycology, two local vendors on the KCM Food Hub+. “I’m loving the hub!” says Kath Gummow Barnes. “I’ve tried products I would never have found otherwise, like the gluten-free perogies and scones and the absolute best everything bagels. Fruits, veggies, pork and beef are excellent. Don’t forget the yogurt and ice cream. Paying by cash or e-transfer helps the vendors out, too. Thanks to Amy for starting this hub!” Vendors post their inventory by Monday night each week. Customers can browse any time, but the online store is only open for purchasing from Mondays to Thursdays. Customers pick up their boxes on Saturdays between 9 and 12 (noon) at the Komoka United Church, 110 St. Lawrence Avenue, Komoka. For more information and to shop, visit kcmfoodhub.com.
