Experience an oldfashioned Christmas with hands-on activities and crafts for the whole family at the Earthwise Farm Garden this Saturday.
The Earthwise Society will host its annual Olde Fashioned Christmas Market from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit Santa's Workshop to build your own winter bouquets, decorate Christmas cookies or paint tree ornaments. Santa and his elves are scheduled to arrive on a Christmas tractor for photos and story time with the kids.
The Olde Fashioned Christmas Market is presented through Farm Fresh Events, so it will provide an opportunity to reconnect with vendors from the Saturday Markets at the Earthwise Farm.
Stop by Your Wildest Foods for foraged local specialty mushrooms or Gesundheit Bakery for some savoury Old World organic breads, tasty pastries and gluten free baking. Take off the winter's edge with some piping-hot soups and sandwiches at the Hearthstone Meats food truck, before joining in with the "Jingle Bells" carolers to spread some Christmas cheer.
The Earthwise Farm store will be open during the market, offering a selection of fresh organic vegetables. Winter vegetables include red and golden beets, oriental greens, a variety of squash, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and more.

The Earthwise Farm and Garden are at 6400-3rd Ave., Boundary Bay.
