MINI-FARMERS MARKET: Veggies such as cauliflower and broccoli
are available in the east concourse every Tuesday and Thursday
from 12:30 p.m.-6 p.m., at a mini-farmers' market. The selection
of fruits and vegetables, all organically grown produce from the
Fraser Valley, also includes kale, squash, beets, carrots and
apples, to name a few. Organizer Stephen Gallagher, pictured at
his farm, opened for business on campus in October. The bulk of
the produce has been pulled fresh from the fields of Gallagher's
Nathan Creek organic farm, and nearby Snow Farms, both in Abbotsford.
Gallagher, a graduate student in history, packs in truckloads
of a wide assortment of produce for each market. He hopes to create
a base of support on campus for the establishment of a full-time
farmer's market at SFU, beginning next April.
