EDITORIAL: Farmers markets play a vital community role
Jun. 13—This week, the Farmer's Market Place in Austin received a grant of $4,380 from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, one of 29 farmer's markets across the state that benefit from the one-time funding to help expand nutrition assistance efforts during this summer's season. According to a press release on Wednesday from MDA, farmers markets are a vital access point for Minnesotans who use nutrition assistance program benefits. This is something that long-time shoppers of these markets will easily attest to as they make use of local purveyors of fresh produce, baked goods and so much more. The Farmers Market Place has been a long-standing tradition in Austin, kicking off the week on Mondays at Main Street and Third Avenue NE, right next to the SPAM Museum. They always have a fresh assortment of goods that contribute not only the good tastes of fresh, home-grown or home-made items, but that are good for the area. And the good news is, it's not the only one. There is also the Cedar River Farmers Market on Fridays and just a short jog down Highway 218 you'll find the Rose Creek Farmers Market on Tuesdays. Food is always better when it's made with fresh ingredients, but it's also a prime destination for healthy eating. These goods are coming from their growing platforms within days of being ready. They are grown holistically and oftentimes organically. Not to mention, it's just very good food and you're helping out our local growers and our local communities. The farmers markets are a chance for everyone to win so take some time and help these producers out. Every dollar you spend with them they are spending to bring you the same great products you've come to enjoy.

Need $1,000 Each Month? How Much You Need to Invest in a TFSA
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada Many Canadians dream of earning $1,000 a month in passive income. For those using a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), that dream is tax-free. But how much do you really need to invest to make it happen? The answer depends on which stocks you choose and how much they pay. Today, we'll look at three solid dividend-paying stocks on the TSX, and figure out how much you'd need to invest in each one to hit that $1,000 monthly goal. Goeasy (TSX:GSY) is a major player in non-prime consumer lending. It helps Canadians access credit when traditional banks say no. That includes personal loans and leasing furniture or appliances. It's been around for years and has a reputation for strong performance and rising dividends. In the first quarter of 2025, the lender posted revenue of $318 million, up 22% from the same time last year. Net income came in at $52.6 million, with earnings per share of $3.08. That's up from $2.73 in Q1 2024. The dividend stock currently trades around $155 and offers a dividend yield of 3.8%. The dividend stock has raised its dividend every year for almost a decade, and its payout ratio remains sustainable. If you're comfortable with a bit more risk for more growth, goeasy could be a strong pick. Then there's Exchange Income (TSX:EIF). It's a unique dividend stock with operations in aerospace and aviation services, as well as manufacturing. In Q1 2025, the acquisition-oriented company reported revenue of $668.3 million, up 11% year over year. However, net income dipped slightly to $9.6 million from $11.8 million in Q1 2024, mostly due to acquisition costs and some seasonal slowdowns. The dividend is paid monthly and currently yields about 4.6%. Exchange Income has a long track record of paying dividends and growing through smart acquisitions. It's not as high-growth as goeasy, but it's dependable. Finally, we have Transcontinental (TSX:TCL.A). This dividend stock used to be known for its printing business, but now it's more focused on packaging. In Q2 2025, it brought in $703 million in revenue and net earnings of $24.4 million. While print still brings in revenue, it's the packaging division that's helping the company evolve. An investment may appeal to conservative investors who prefer a lower-risk business model. The dividend has remained stable, though it hasn't shown the kind of rapid growth that goeasy offers. So how much do you really need? The short answer for a mix of the three is a total investment of $263,085 at writing. Overall, it depends on the stock. Exchange Income gets you there the fastest, while Transcontinental takes longer. Goeasy lands in the middle but offers more long-term upside. Here's how investors might want to break it down for the best passive income, earning just under $12,000 a year, at $11,563 or $963.55 each month. Company Price Dividend/yr Shares Invested Income/yr EIF $57.83 $2.64 3,500 $202,400 $9,240 TCL.A $21.16 $0.90 2,500 $52,900 $2,250 GSY $155.70 $1.46 50 $7,785 $73 Total $263,085 $11,563 Achieving a $1,000 monthly income in a TFSA isn't easy, but it's definitely possible with the right combination of high-yield stocks and a long-term mindset. Whether you focus on growth, stability, or a mix of both, knowing your numbers is the first step. Let your TFSA work smarter, not harder. The post Need $1,000 Each Month?
