One of the many essential services that we don’t hear too much about are the local farmers’ markets around town. There is something to be said about the vibrancy a farmers’ market brings, from the array of colors, the variety in choices along with the ability to strike up a conversation with the producers and get more information on where exactly your food is coming from.
Here in Edmonton, we are fortunate to have access to this year-round shopping experience, made possible by a few special development indoor farmers market centers, operating during the weekends. It is important to note that all our indoor markets are adhering to the current norms and physical distancing guidelines while maintaining the quality, experience, and freshness we’ve all come to expect.
