This will be the last baking workshop with Vitold that we will be offering at the Market, for at least the next year or so. Don't miss out on your chance to learn the ways of healthy baking from a consummate expert like Vitold. We added this last class because of a request from a customer who had somehow missed hearing about Vitold's three previous workshops.Register with Chaim Gilad at the Market. $25

Farm Apprenticeship Opportunities:

The Village Market's main supplier of fresh organic produce, Mike Lanigan, is offering apprenticeship opportunites this summer on his farm near Uxbridge. Mike's apprenticeship program will be part of the Kawartha area node of C.R.A.F.T. -- which is Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training.

One of Mike's apprentices from last year was Jamie Milne (above), who had recently completed his Masters degree in Ecology at University of Waterloo. Jamie's partner, Sasha, who was also apprentice last summer, was just finishing her Master's degree in plant science at McGill University in Montreal.

But you don't need a university degree to apprentice at Mike's farm, just a willingness to learn and to work hard. Talk to Mike at the Village Market for details.
