Kennedy Reaume
Working as a market specialist at Lee & Maria’s is only one of the jobs that occupy Kennedy Reaume’s time.
The Cottam native also works for Community Living Essex County as a support worker, helping people in the region with intellectual disabilities, assisting with their day-to-day activities. “It allows me to work with amazing individuals and see how involved they are in community events. It’s amazing to be part of an agency that provides so much awareness and support to those with intellectual disabilities.”
I enjoy doing basically anything that involves being outside in the sun, especially on the water.
Kennedy is a University of Windsor graduate with a bachelor’s degree in human kinetics and a minor in psychology. Right now, she’s taking a year off.
Kennedy plans to eventually travel, and if there’s one place she could go, it would be Europe. “I’d love to explore all of the different cultures and sightsee.” When she goes, it will be her first time on a plane, “I’ve never even been to Disney World.” One place she has been that’s “pretty cool” is her cottage near North Bay. “My family and I used to go for two weeks every summer, which was a nice getaway. “
In her free time, Kennedy loves spending time outside with friends and family, walking her Chihuahua, Roxie, running and playing soccer. “I enjoy doing basically anything that involves being outside in the sun, especially on the water, but having two jobs occupies a lot of my time.”
Lee & Maria’s is her first time working on a farm, but she has worked in a grocery store before. She’s a huge strawberry and pineapple fan, “because who doesn’t love strawberries.” She hates beets. According to her, “they taste like dirt.”
Kennedy eventually plans to return to school to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing at St. Clair College to become a registered nurse. In the meantime, she’ll continue serving market customers “who are always so amazing and friendly to the staff.”
“I love the social aspect and getting to work with amazing people. From the start, everyone makes you feel so welcomed and makes work enjoyable.”

I can’t help but wonder how good it will taste in real life when I, a 17-year-old teen with very limited cooking skills other than the occasional bowl of cereal give it a shot. Is it as delicious as it looks, or is it just the magic of our virtual world? So, let’s dig into this viral pasta and see if it’s worth all the glorious hype.
Farmers markets have long been one of the cornerstones of a community. A good farmers market allows people who live in small towns and medium and large cities access to fresh food that they’d typically have to drive great distances to track down. The problem is, not all farmers markets are great. Some are even a little bit seedy. In this guide, we’ll discuss why farmers markets exist, why you should go to one, and tips to help you get the most out of the experience.
Online grocery shopping in Windsor has never been easier thanks to Lee and Maria's Market Online. The importance of shopping local (#ShopYQG) has never been more important. The pandemic has greatly impacted small businesses and shopping from those big box Windsor supermarkets are taking money out of the local economy.
Grocery delivery has never been more popular. As people were forced to stay home during the pandemic, people realized the benefits of getting fresh local grocery delivery. There are two different types of grocery delivery options available in places like Windsor-Essex, London, and other parts of Ontario. You can order through a traditional online service, like Lee & Maria's Market Online, or you can sign up for a Food Subscription Box. Both options have their benefits, but here are seven common reasons my either option is a good idea to help your family eat healthy without a lot of effort.
