Nothing says "Canada" like the maple leaf, and now that maple trees are displaying their most beautiful autumn colours, thoughts turn to the wonderful and delicious products of the maple tree - especially at Thanksgiving! The many area country farms produce some of the finest maple products nationwide, and visitors to our region in the summer and early fall months seek out top quality maple products to take home. Maple syrup, maple butter, sugar and candy all attractively packaged and displayed can be found in local farmers markets throughout the Maritimes, with the province of New Brunswick undoubtedly the leader in production.

Heidi Wulfraat’s London-Wul Fibre Arts

Brilliantly coloured skeins of yarn in a variety of textures, knitted and crocheted shawls, scarves, mitts and hats festooned on racks draw one’s attention compellingly to Heidi Wulfraat’s London-Wul kiosk at the Marché Moncton Market. All hand-spun and hand-dyed, Heidi’s yarns are made of all natural fibres, including hair from Heidi’s own angora rabbits, sheep and goats. Following traditional methods of carding and hand spinning to produce these exceptional yarns, Heidi employs these age-old methods to produce new forms of what she so aptly calls "fibre art." Well acquainted with the history of making wool through the ages, Heidi has a wonderful interactive workshop and boutique on her property at 1937 Chemin Melanson Road, Greater Lakeburn, NB, E1H 2C6. Open all year round, it features regularly scheduled workshops and guided tours. A member of the International Économuseum Network Society whose mission is "to showcase traditional trades and know-how across Canada." Heidi’s business incorporates animals and art to produce one-of-a-kind handcrafted items of great beauty made from "innovative new fabrics" with lasting wearability. An almost symbolic relationship between her animals and her art comes from the peaceful environment she has created for her animals to thrive in, with a nurturing in the physical and psychological aspect of animal husbandry with low stress levels resulting in "the highest quality of excellence in fibre production." Used to working in a hands-on manner, Heidi also showcases wooden knitting needles made from exotic woods and produced exclusively at her London-Wul Fibre Arts Centre. Works of art in their own right, Heidi extols the merits of their fine quality and workmanship.

Fall Comes to Area Farmers Markets

Days are getting shorter, nights are crispier, and nature is readying herself to regale us with her Cinderella ball gown of colours before the midnight stroke of winter. Yes! It’s fall in the Greater Moncton Area. For the Farmers Markets in the region the fall is a time of transition as seasonal summer items and vendors bow out of circulation at the market or re-adjust their inventory to the many up-coming fall events such as Thanksgiving and Halloween. At this time of year, the lazy, languid summer days pick up pace with the busy festive season as yet a distant goal on the horizon. Fall is a great time to indulge in the many pleasures of one of the loveliest and liveliest times of the year and especially at the Farmers Market there is a cornucopia of wonderful buys such as farm fresh produce in season like apples, corn, pumpkins and squash; tasty and tempting international breads and pastries; warm and woolly hand-knitted and crocheted sweaters, hats, mitts and scarves; cosy fleeces; homespun yarns to engage in your own knitting projects; lovely fall sunflower and dried flower arrangements; jams, jellies and maple products; fresh grain-fed local meats and freshly laid eggs; and, of course, the many finely crafted specialty and gift items.

Each of our three area markets have become an integral part of the communities they serve and indeed, market-goers often patronize all three on the Saturday morning market tour, and while healthy competition between markets is a good thing, there is no room for schoolyard one-upmanship as each market contains merchandise, booths and vendors of top quality and remarkable workmanship. This fall, take advantage of the many fine offerings at each market and make the Farmers Market a part of your lifestyle. See you at the Market!
