Fraberts Feeds the Relay for Life
Fraberts was proud to feed the brave and energetic participants of the Relay for Life fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society on June 18.  Nothing like Chef Derek’s pulled pork sandwiches to keep you going for 12 hours of relay!

What’s in season?
Lots!  Every week brings more fresh local produce.  Currently we have fresh local cherries, raspberries, red currants, strawberries, tomatoes, spinach, asparagus, lettuce, radish, peas, broccoli, zucchini, cabbage, green onions, herbs, garlic, and new potatoes.  Blueberries and beans are just around the corner!
