Salt Spring Island


One of the most beautiful islands in the Southern Gulf. The Saturday Market is an amazing collection of local organic growers, bakers, cheese makers and other towns folks who sell handmade furniture, and other artistic wears. The colours and displays are beautiful. The quality and the taste - gourmet by any standards. It is a place that reminds us of simpler times, when the market wasn't global.
