Featuring Fresh Local Produce

The Boat Shed Market aims to deliver a diverse range of high quality produce for locals and visitors alike.  The recent introduction of a Regional Table to the Market provides a way for producers who are unable to open a stand-alone stall to make their produce available to customers. This week the Regional Table will include:

Salad greens, potatoes, broccolini and more from Bathgate Farms;
