PERMACULTURE GARDENS
- Piedmont Valley Farm’s grows perennial gardens using ecological and permaculture farming practices to produce healthy food for ourselves and our community
- NO synthetic herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, preservatives, or fertilizers are used
- Minimal tillage, rotational crops, manual weeding, and poultry compost-enriched soils
- Ongoing plantings of nut and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs that will add to farm production in time
- Seasonal varieties of berries (blackberries, pine berries, josta-berries, more!)
- Fresh & dried culinary herbs (sage, winter savoury, oregano, chives)
- Hand-harvested, air-dried small batches of traditionally used herbs (cedar, comfrey, topinambur, all heal, eyebright, mullien, more!)
- Our line of ‘Brambleberry Tea’ – delicious and refreshing blends of blackberry, red and golden raspberry leaves and limited special editions with mint or wild rose petals
- Our Farm fruit jam and wildflower jellies are made with fair-trade organic cane sugar, local honey, or local maple syrup
- Fresh flowers and rustic dried bouquets on occasion
- Silver Maple, Sugar Maple, and Oak tree seedlings and perennial plant divisions

Are you a local farmer, artisan, craft maker, or producer with something interesting to share? We’d love to have you at the Old School Markets.
Old School Co‑operative Merchants Ltd. is a small not‑for‑profit run by three volunteers, offering low‑cost consignment and outdoor vendor space for local crafts, food and beverages, and farm products.
We’re located on the Barney’s River Station School Museum grounds 📍 98 Old Orchard Lane — just a minute off TCH 104, Exit 29, on the #4 East.
I’m Trudi, owner/operator of Piedmont Valley Farms, Director of OSCM, and Volunteer Manager of the Old School Markets, held Fridays from July to October, 4–7 pm.
If you’d like to join us as a vendor or place items on consignment, get in touch — we’re building a friendly, accessible market space for our rural community this season.
