The Farmers’ Market is a must-visit for any Manitoban summer! Visiting your local farmers’ market is a great way to support local producers, artisans, and farmers. In addition to supporting local producers, shopping at the farmers’ market comes with a number of other benefits. For instance, getting your groceries at the farmers’ market instead of a large supermarket can help you reduce your carbon footprint. Supporting your local farmers’ market allows you to support the local economy and protect the environment! Don’t know where to start? Here’s a guide of our favourite farmers’ markets in Manitoba.
Without a doubt, the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market is one of the most widely known farmers’ markets in the province. Located in the bilingual community of St. Norbert at the south-east tip of Winnipeg, the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market features more than 1800 products from some 70 artisans and producers. Among the latter you can find many excellent Francophone and bilingual artisans! We recommend in particular Ker Breizh’s stand, which serves delicious crêpes inspired by the owners’ homeland of Brittany in France, as well as that of Coco Kisses, which offers unique and warm home décor.
Opening Hours: Saturdays from 8 AM to 2 PM; and Wednesdays from 3PM to 7PM
