The SWEFM collected 1835kg (4037 lbs) of food for Edmonton's Food Bank this market season! A huge thank you goes out to the vendors who donated weekly to this wonderful cause. Your generosity is amazing and we love you!

Wishing a Fond Farewell to Emily Hendsbee, Sprouts Coordinator The SWEFM is sadly saying goodbye to our longest-standing volunteer, Emily Hendsbee. Emily & her mother, Sheri, are the founders of the beloved Sprouts children’s program at the market, which many of you know and love. The number of hours that Emily and her family have put into this program over the past decade are immeasurable. Months before we opened for the season each year, Emily & family were busy fundrai...sing, finding sponsors, designing the beloved kids’ shopping bags, and working on the kid-friendly recipes (creating them from scratch!) that were handed out at each market. Emily’s grandfather hand-crafted the hundreds of wooden tokens that were handed out to local kids, who would then use them to buy healthy fruit, local veggies, and bedding plants. Emily’s dedication, grace, and commitment to our market and the families who visit the SWEFM are something we will be forever thankful for. Emily recently obtained her Masters Degree in Human Ecology, and is now giving her passion and attention to her role as the Client Services Manager at the Dogs With Wings Assistance Dog Society. Emily, you will be sorely missed, but we wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. Dogs With Wings are so very lucky to have you. We will certainly miss working with you, but we look forward to staying in touch with you for years to come, and to see what greatness you accomplish!
