Outdoor, Outdoor Markets, Shop local
The Farmers’ Market is a must-visit for any Manitoban summer! Especially in these times, visiting your local farmers’ market is a great way to support local producers, artisans, and farmers while obeying public health orders. 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 ManitobaL
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.

A visit to Manitoba means travelling through Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 territory and communities signatory to Treaties 6 and 10, the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anish-Ininiwak, Dakota, Dené, Iiniwak, and Nehethowuk and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Its ongoing existence is thanks to these ancestors and their present day relatives who continue to love and care for the land.
