We really appreciate your support and your interest, and we're excited to visit the Hamilton Farmer's Market together!  Again, please follow us @stopsprawlstudents on Instagram for updates.

On March 22rd, Stop Sprawl Students is hosting our second annual Farmer's Market event to celebrate the farmlands and produce that was grown right here in Hamilton! Starting at MUSC, you'll get to enjoy a free lunch with locally sourced ingredients (for those of you who came to our Fall Farm Festival- yes it's the same caterer!). Then you'll be shuttled to the Hamilton Farmer's Market, where you can find fresh and local fruits, vegetables, meat, bread, cheese, baked goods, soup, pasta, pierogis and much more! This event will have 2 start times: 12pm and 1pm. We will not be providing returning bus trips so you can leave the farmer's market whenever you're ready. We will have club reps that can lead you back to McMaster using the HSR (so bring your presto card!). These return trips will depart at 2:30pm and 3:30pm (meeting at the front entrance of the farmer's market)  Please follow @stopsprawlstudents on Instagram to stay updated on the event and find out exactly where we'll be having lunch that day (hopefully outside at the MUSC and Mills picnic tables if it's nice), or make sure to check your email the day before the event for updates.  This event will be FREE thanks to the generous support of OPIRG McMaster - you still have to buy a $4 ticket, but it will be refunded after you attend the event! A little more about Stop Sprawl Student's mission: Hamilton's farmlands are constantly at risk of being developed on and we work to stop it. Even though the municipal government has voted multiple times to save our farmland, the provincial government continues to push back. Growing local produce in our area is a luxury and increases our food security. Hamilton also has a good portion of the best farming soil (Class 1 soil) in Canada. We shouldn't just sacrifice it! As once you build on land, you can't go back to its original rich state. SSS wants to bring awareness to this issue and also show how valuable our farms are!
