The local farmers market allows members to sell produce on the Royal Bank parking lot. Joe a neighbour had three good-looking cobs on friday when asked he said he paid $1.99 for the three. Besides local producers there are artisans and some people who have ideology driving them to “produce locally and think globally ,one has taken his entire lot and planted produce to drive a point.
Although not a serious threat to the supermarket they are an interesting distraction that empowers some people. Joe also drives to Spence’s Bridge to buy tomatoes off the farm and has his own very productive garden. He is mid 80s and still goes out hunting and fishing for the sustenance. He is productive at fishing and has a smoker made of a fridge in his back yard. Joe a French Canadian made livelihood here for years as a bartender at the Coldwater Hotel and then as a stucco and drywall contractor. He leaves a very small ecological footprint as he composts and works his yard well ;he has flowers and trees on a fifty foot lot in the center of town and is a happy man living with his ageing wife.
