The Halifax Market
2012
I was really looking forward to checking out the Halifax market! I love our market at home also.. but I had heard so much about this one that I was really excited to check it out. & I wasn’t disappointed..here are some highlights of our trip to the market.
1st of all angels greet you at the door!! How awesome is that!?
Mom (red sweater) and Emily at the bottom of the stairs.. looking down at 1st floor of market..
We went up to the 3rd floor on roof and this was looking out at George’s Island.. (which has the world’s largest population of black garter snakes in the world!)
Another pic looking down at market on other side..
I should have taken a few more pics of Chandra.. Rawthentic Chocolatier Goddess whos vibe and beauty and amazing chocolate was every bit as good and better than expected. I had heard of Chandra’s chocolate from Toronto years ago.. and finally got the chance and pleasure of finally meeting her.
Raw chocolate is imho one of the best treasures on the planet.. abundant in antioxidants, minerals, phytochemicals, nutrients, PEA (love bliss chemical).. and on & on, more on cacao here
Check out Chandra’s Rawthentic Chocolate here. ..& her facebook page here!
I was so happy to get a glass of fresh pressed juice by Craig of Main Squeeze!! It was amazing.. awesome blend of kale, spinach, parsley, lemon, apple! It reminded me a lot of my Green Lemonade.. check it out & benefits of chlorophyll here
& Check out Craig’s Main Squeeze facebook page here!
Musicians, Flamenco dancers, lots of activity..
Iranian superfoods. I learned about the benefits of barberries and saffron! ..the sign on the right explains the extensive nutritional benefits of saffron.
Breighan of Crowbar! I especially loved her superfood energy drink – Howl!! It’s made of cacao, Matcha, Guarana, Maca, Holy Basil, Ashwaganda, Shatavari, Gotu Kola and Vanilla beans! What a combo!!
Check out Crowbar on facebook!
Gali’s Healthy Kitchen. Gali became very busy and I was rushed away ..it was Mom’s birhday!! I will have to come back to see her and try her foods!
You can check out all of Gali’s wonderful healthy, raw foods on facebook!
Chantal of the Kind Cookie.. a few raw options but everything is vegan. We bought a little chocolate tart from her on our way out the door. Loved meeting Chantal. ..another reason to be back. We have lots of reasons to be back!!
Check out Chantal’s webpage and all her delicious gluten free, vegan, ethical treats at The Kind Cookie
Across the street from the market..
We went in to see my brothers friend, Bob Campbell.. he has a studio across the street from the market. Lots of artists studios around here. NSCAD, the art school where I went for a few years (a long time ago) is on the waterfront also and the waterfront is teeming with artists. Halifax is a real university city, there are 6 universities in the city and lots of colleges and professional schools as well. Young people, culture and creativity abounds here. So many interesting places to visit and things to do!!
Some of my favorite superfood treats from the market!
My niece is looking up property listings for us to move as we speak. I kid you not.. and it’s tempting!! A market can tell a lot about the city.. and I really enjoyed this one! ; )
