Christopher Lake Farmer's Market

The May long weekend is here and the Christopher Lake Farmer's Market has started for another year.
The hours are 8am- noon every Saturday until around the September long weekend and is located in the Christopher Lake School parking lot.


My family and I will be there again with our unique items from India, Nepal and Tibet. 
The sale of these products not only helps people in these countries but part of our profits go to support other charities.


We have beautiful OM pendants and bracelets, earrings small and large, scarves, wool sweaters, hemp or cotton purses and bags, high quality incense, singing bowls, drums, Tibetan prayer flags, prayer malas...

Check out my website under Products to see some examples - http://www.plnyoga.vpweb.com/


My kids are also selling creations of their own.


Gabrielle is producing Great Gifts by Gabi - a few include large and small stuffed rhinos




Hannah is cooking healthy granola cereal.  Full of nuts, seeds, wheat and oat bran, wheat germ and of course oats!



Aiden will be selling Balloons for Bellur.  This is a fundraiser to help raise money for the small village of Bellur in India.  The birthplace of B.K.S. Iyengar.  

1-$3, 2-$5 or 5-$10

The proceeds will be sent to the Bellur Krishnamachar & Seshamma Smaraka Niddhi Trust (BKSSNT).

BKS Iyengar was born in 1918 in the small village of Bellur, India.  The B in his name actually stands for Bellur.  A vast amount of his life has been spent to improve the lives of others.  This is not only shown from his over 70 years of dedication to the art, science and philosophy of yoga, but in the charitable acts to improve the lives of the underprivileged in his home village of Bellur.

Some of the projects he has undertaken include building the first primary school, RIM Hall for yoga classes, water storage tank and a Special School for Girls.

BKSSNT is a charitable trust and has undertaken as well as completed several projects with focused aim. Click here to know more about the Aim of Project undertaken by this Trust.


We hope to see you at the Market! 


Namaste.
