A Taste of the Market at Bridges to Better Business

There's nothing we love more than celebrating local food and the people who make it, so we're extra excited that  Bridges to Better Business is just around the corner! This annual evening shines a spotlight on the incredible small businesses of St. Thomas and Elgin County — and this year, it's bringing together music, community, and of course, a whole lot of flavour.
Hosted at the Elgin County Railway Museum, the night will feature live entertainment (yes, Canadian crooner Matt Dusk is taking the stage!) and a delicious Food Showcase that's included in your ticket. And the best part? Some of your favourite Horton Farmers' Market vendors will be there serving up the tastes you know and love.

Who's Bringing the Flavour
​
There are more than 20 local Elgin County and St. Thomas-based food businesses participating, but this is a Horton stan account, so here's the lineup of our market friends you'll see at the event:

• Abby Mae's Gluten Free – baked goods that prove gluten-free can be full of flavour.
• Bluegroves Farms – fresh, local, and straight from the field.
• Great Lakes Farms – a taste of the harvest in every sip.
• Kosuma Foods – wholesome and packed with energy.
• Lotus Thai – fragrant, flavourful dishes that transport you instantly.
• Samaroo Sweets – a little sweetness goes a long way.
• Taco House Co. – fresh-made tacos that always hit the spot.
• Union General Coffee – fueling the evening with the perfect brew.
• Opa's Pretzels – soft, salty, and impossible to resist.
• Yashka's Pierogies – comfort food that feels like a warm hug.

Why You'll Love It 

Think of it like a mini farmers' market night out; only this time you're wandering through the old Railway Museum, sampling small bites from your favourite vendors, and topping it all off with live music. It's a chance to connect with the people behind the food, discover new favourites, and celebrate the hard work of local entrepreneurs who make our community so vibrant.

Come Hungry, Leave Inspired
​
Grab your ticket, bring a friend, and make an evening of it. Whether you're there for the food, the music, or just the joy of seeing small businesses celebrated, Bridges to Better Business is a night that reminds us why shopping (and eating!) local matters so much.

We can't wait to see our market family shine on stage and on the plate.
