Black Refugee women who came to Nova Scotia after the War of 1812 worked to make a living for their families by taking goods to the Halifax Market, now called the Halifax Farmer’s market. Vegetables, fruit and flowers, cultivated through great labour, from rocky soil, overflowed their carts, and their hand woven maple baskets, a craft still present in Nova Scotia.
