Guysborough

The local produce market Square Roots is returning to the Quad Counties this Saturday, March 21.

This comes after taking a two month pause when government funding was cut.

The Port Hawkesbury Community Manager is excited they’re starting back up after receiving some donations from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Civic Centre.

Michele Tabensky says they can’t do the program without your support which allows them to donate leftover produce to those in need.

“We know like so many people are enjoying the program and it’s so important to be able to have nutritionally fresh produce, at great prices available to everyone in the community. Square Roots is for everyone. It’s not income based,” expressed Tabensky.

“It’s so that everyone can have fresh nutritious produce at great prices. And we’re not only helping our community members. We [are] also helping the farmers by selling this excess produce that, if not sold, would just get turned back into compost.”

Square Roots markets in Guysborough and D’Escousse will also be returning on Saturday, March 21.
