Fightingville Fresh Market – Shaking Out the Good Stuff
There is a post on the Fightingville Fresh Facebook page that begins with the line "Nothing beats homemade red beans and rice...except red beans and rice AND BREAD PUDDING". I don't blame them for shouting about the bread pudding. I have been known to raise my volume at that particular treat as well.
Today our Shaking Out the Good Stuff spotlight from Morton Salt's Week's Island facility falls on the Fightingville Fresh neighborhood market. It's a farmer's market for those living on Lafayette's north side and there is always something interesting for sale.
The products come from a "selected cohort" of growers and those growers provide the goods the market has on offer each Tuesday from 3p-5p and each Saturday from 1p-4p. The market is held at 315 West Simcoe Street in Lafayette.
The group is always looking to expand its network of growers and via the Facebook Page, you can apply to become one of those individuals who help bring good food to our community. After all, is there anything better than homegrown and homemade? We don't think so.
And we also know the Fightingville Fresh Market does so much more than just sell produce. They offer workshops on how to grow and use herbs not only for cooking but for better health. And I bet if you ask the vendors sweetly enough they'll even offer up a recipe or two for their favorite ways to cook the products they have on offer.
The Fightingville Fresh Market is just one more way community-minded people are "Shaking Out the Good Stuff" for our towns and neighborhoods. That's why Morton Salt is proud to offer this spotlight.
If your group is doing something amazing in the community and you'd like us to help spread the word, simply use the contact tab on this page to reach out to us at the radio station. Or you can visit Morton Salt's Facebook page and leave a message there.

In other words, you can make offshore money without having to spend so much time away from your family and the fresh produce and other goodies like the ones they offer at Fightingville Fresh.
