Thunder Bay Country Market

As much as I enjoy vending at the Thunder Bay Country Market, it's difficult to get there given that I work 5 days/week at Canada Post. I try to get there in the fall but for the last couple years I've set up a booth there just for the Christmas season, which is the busiest time of year I would say. I spent the three Saturday's before Christmas at the market and it was well worth it; better, in fact, than 12-hour days at the Royal in Toronto. The Thunder Bay crowd has been good to Boreal Birch Syrup over the years and they just "get it" whereas folk in Southern Ontario just "don't". People up here like to have things they can call their own and birch syrup is something they're proud of, which makes us proud indeed.
