Meeting the people who grow your food, and enjoying fresh, seasonal flavours and colours— just a few reasons to discover the region’s Farmers’ Markets this summer. As you stroll through the market, you’ll want to have both hands available to pick up local products, sample goodies, and experience connecting with your community, artisans, + farmers. These local markets in the region provide an opportunity for locals + visitors to find local and unique produce and products.
Plan to visit a local farm during Alberta Open Farm Days—a weekend that brings Albertans together, and we want you to be our guest.
