Awesome last day today at the Terra@Home Market in Milton, where we’ve spent the past 10 Saturdays in the greenhouse. What a great venue! Surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers under the cover of glass enjoying the sunlight, taking a break from this year’s relentless winter weather and meeting the most interesting people from Milton, Mississauga and Oakville as well as Edmonton, Saint Johns and Winnipeg. Sad to see the market end but it’s time for Terra Garden Centre to get ready for spring planting season.
Our Avid yarn, spun at Grand Valley Fibre Company was very popular and made the local knitters drool as they fondled the many different blends. We sold out of the alpaca/merino/bamboo/cashmere blend the day we brought it. No wonder, it was buttery silky soft. We introduced the public to the Bear Buddy kits, dryer balls and our own insoles. There was definitely something for everyone and lots of repeat customers. We even inspired several people to try knitting and crocheting!
The plan now is to get through this year’s shearing then hibernate for the summer while we restock inventory and develop new products, in preparation for the fall markets and 2014 Christmas season and launch our on-line store.
