On Saturday, September 14, the Potton Public Market located at the Round Barn site in the heart of Mansonville will host a Gourmet Food Festival inviting producers from the region to come with their fine food products. The event will take place from 9am to 1pm.

Fontaine in Potton, farm grown gourmet mushrooms from “Fundus Fungus,” Ch. Hodge Cookshire and more… coming to Potton’s Public Market to share their amazing produce!

“Anyone who has not yet visited the Public Market in Potton should welcome this opportunity to do so,” said Gwynne Basen, a food producer at the Abbondanza Farm and long time organiser of the market. “We love to see new faces and we are so pleased to be hosting these gourmet producers,” she added.

It is the time of year when many delicious vegetables and fruits are harvested and the fresh garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, squash and numerous other products from meats to cheeses are real treats especially as canning and preserves are being prepared in anticipation of the upcoming winter months. The internet provides terrific recipes and tips in preserving foods to be enjoyed all year long.

Soon, the leaves will begin to change color and a variety of activities will be happening in the area. If you are making the drive to Potton for other reasons, a stop at the Saturday market is encouraged. Just across the road from the market is the Catholic Church basement where a flea market takes place every weekend. For students looking for furniture, dishes, clothing, this too is a place to check out. The Reilly House just a few buildings from both of these offers a tea room with homemade lunch, a second hand clothing department on the second floor, books, furniture, dishes and more…

See you all at the Potton Public Market this Saturday!
