Summer Market gratitude

As the sun sets on another memorable farmers’ market season, we’re filled with gratitude for the journey we’ve all shared through the Dream Cuisines food business program. Each passing year has unfolded as a unique voyage, with its own challenges and successes. Every emerging women entrepreneur brought her own magic and speciality to the program, and our growing amount of customers and supporters makes it even more special. The delicious sweet and savoury treats enjoyed by many, the endless words of encouragement exchanged, new connections that formed and flourished, and the excitement from sold-out days are cherished moments that we will always treasure.

We’re beyond excited to welcome a new chapter as the Dream Cuisines 2023 participants prepare to spread their wings and expand their businesses through becoming independent vendors in and out of the farmers’ markets. We can’t wait to see what they bring to their communities with their incredible skills and delectable creations, especially after seeing the heartwarming response to the traditional treats they’ve handcrafted with love and care throughout the program.

What adds another layer of pride and fulfilment to this journey is the privilege of being able to witness these extraordinary group of women collaborate not only with their family and friends, but also with one another, and foster mutual support with other vendors. Their passion and spirit of collaboration has helped foster a vibrant community that radiates the warmth of togetherness.

With this, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and everyone who has been an integral part of our 2023 program: our community of supporters and partners, long-standing and newfound customers, and finally, to our incredible newcomer women entrepreneurs for their passion and commitment – here’s to the boundless possibilities on the horizon!
