The Bowen Agricultural Alliance (BAA) Farmers’ Market is holding a market basket photo contest.
We love seeing people shopping at the market, but are especially charmed when we see people filling old-fashioned baskets. These crafty locals are using as little plastic as possible while shopping for delicious produce and items baked, grown and made on Bowen.
So please, keep bringing your boxes, re-useable Tupperware and cloth bags, but if you can: bring out your baskets and cameras!
For the month of September we will have some baskets for sale to get this contest going!
To enter: stop by the BAA table with your basket filled with what you’ve purchased that day to have your basket photographed, or take your own photo and send it to [email protected]. Please put ‘basket’ in the subject line and include your phone number so we can contact you if you win. All ages are welcome to participate.
Photos will be shared without names or identifiers on Bowen Farmers’ Market Facebook page, and the number of likes will be considered by the contest’s judges.
Entries must be received by Sunday, Oct. 7 and the winner will be announced on Oct. 11.
Prizes will be distributed at the farmers’ market Oct. 13 at Bowen Island Community School.
Sarah Haxby and Jessica Mitts are the BAA Farmers’ Market co-leads. We look forward to seeing you at the markets!
