Congratulations to the volunteers and staff of our Colborne office for organizing another successful holiday event.

A special thank you to CRH Canada for sponsoring the event.

The Codrington Farmers' Market is Brighton's hot spot for fresh food from May to October. In its third

phenomenal year bringing farmers and their freshest products together with the public, it is a friendly and fun

atmosphere.

Our participants joined chef Dorothy Fletcher and she led them through the Market on a personal tour to teach

them about what types of products are available throughout the Northumberland County and introduced them to

the people who produce them. Along with meeting these vendors, participants were taken into the Codrington

Centre kitchen and shown ways of preparing and cooking items that they found at the market.
