Edmonton is a hot spot for community markets and their popularity is growing outside city limits to surrounding municipalities and communities.says Edmonton proper has 12 approved farmers’ markets in addition to many public markets like 124th Street Grand.
“They still have a place to sell — Morinville, Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton, all the communities, all the little neighbourhoods in communities are starting to pop up with markets.”The appeal for vendors is that they can test their product in a lower-risk, lower overhead setting, she says. “The reason that you’d want to come to a market is you know that that person that you’re dealing with, that money is going directly to them, that’s going to put their kid in school, that’s going to create a good wage for them so they can live in your community … By supporting the entrepreneurs in your community, you’re creating a community that’s going to last.”Souto says markets provide the chance for producers to interact with people who are supporting their businesses and enjoying their food.
