IN MEMORIAM

Mark Wilson

We are extremely sad to announce that our beloved beekeeper Mark Wilson of ELFSONG APIARIES will not be with us in the physical sense. Mark transitioned unexpectedly on February 2023. Mark Wilson was an integral member of our Market Family and was one of the founding members of the North York Farmers’ Market and astute Board Member. While we look forward to our Opening Day, it will never, ever be the same without Mark at the helm!

May God bless and keep you and your bees safe, sound and sure dearest Mark as you lovingly lead your beloved, North York Farmers’ Market, Farm Family from your beehive in the skies! Mark we continue to feel your love and send your our prayers, blessings and love.

God bless. God speed. One dearest Mark!

Always and ever.
