Alberta Farmers Markets

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development has been providing leadership and guidance to Alberta producers through the Alberta Approved Farmers' Market program for over 40 years.  Today there are over 100 approved Alberta Farmers' Markets.  There are 14 markets that operate year round with the majority of markets being seasonal running from about April to October with some extra Christmas sales.

There are over 2000 Alberta producers that sell their products through Farmers Markets.  For some producers, their entire income is derived from their sales at Farmers Markets and on farm sales.

The number of Alberta consumers that are demanding fresh local products year round is increasing, so the future looks very promising for Alberta producers and Alberta Approved Farmers' Markets.
