Apple A Day Produce Company Ltd.

Nothing evokes the true atmosphere of the "Farmers Market" like the fresh fruit and vegetables stall, and at Marché Moncton Market the Apple A Day is such a place! Occupying an entire corner of the Festival Hall at the market this fresh fruit and vegetable kiosk contains baskets of wonderful produce brought to us from the gardens of the world. Choose from crisp lettuces, fragrant apples, plump pears, lemons, oranges, and bananas and sample the more unusual choices such as leeks, beets, red cabbage, avocados, and zucchinis. There are staples such as potatoes – Irish and sweet – and pumpkins, squash, carrots, and green beans, or exotic ugli fruit and star fruit brought in on occasion. A busy spot on Saturdays, Apple A Day is a mecca for the discriminating shopper looking for ingredients for that special meal – the tasty vegetable stew, leafy green salad, or side dish as a compliment for fish, roast beef, or chicken.

Apple A Day Produce Company Ltd. is run by Chris Hay and Mylene Moreau of Dieppe. As food wholesalers, they purchase fresh fruit and vegetables in Montreal where they arrive from varied points worldwide. Transported to our fair city on a regular basis, the Farmers Market offers the perfect outlet for patrons to enjoy quality produce from the far-flung regions of the world right here in our own backyard. In a true departure from the regular grocery shopping experience, drop by the market on Saturdays and indulge in the best produce in the region. For more information on Apple A Day, contact them at 383-4844, fax at 383-4946, or email them at appleaday@nb.aibn.com, and make your fruit and vegetable shopping experience a fun and rewarding one at the market!

Sarah Jayne Design

Jewellery is so much more than the sum of its materials. Works of wearable art, they pre-date recorded history as talismans against illness and evil, as tools in ritual rites, and as adornment harkening back to qualities that lie deep in our psyches. Often made from nature’s own gifts – rocks, stones gems, gold, and silver – they are a record of man’s ingenuity in fashioning objects of beauty and intrigue from the bowels of the earth.

Some of the finest pieces of jewellery to be found in the Greater Moncton Area comes to us from the deft hands of Sarah Jayne Design of the Marché Moncton Market. Her handmade jewellery creations employ such varied materials as semi-precious gemstones, silver and copper wire, and exotic finds such as frosted sea glass, dried nuts, and eye-catching beads in unusual juxtapositions. A fine example of this is her citrine and amethyst beaded necklace with turquoise pendant or sea glass accents with silver-plated wire coiled in decorative points. She also uses red jasper, agates, jade, hematite, garnet, and a host of other unusual gemstones to fashion rings, earrings, bracelets, and neck pieces in designs with no two alike. With the onset of warmer weather and lower necklines, her exotic necklaces will, no doubt, be a hit this summer!

Sarah Jayne is a quiet, sweet, and very gentle person whose vision is expressed in her excellent work. Got a special order or request? Contact her at (506) 383-0637, by email at bead_chick@hotmail.com, or visit her kiosk at the market each Saturday and revel in the delights of her jewellery masterpieces!
