There's a new farmers' market in Saskatoon. It was started to fill the gap created when the Saskatoon Farmers' Market moved into its new permanent location and stopped holding satellite markets around the city. The new group can be found:
Saturday 8 am-2 pm Lawson Heights Mall parking lot
Tuesday 8 am - 2 pm outside London Drugs on 8th Street
Wednesday 8 am - 2 pm Market Mall parking lot
Thursday 8 am - 2 pm in front of Peavey Mart on 51 Street
I attended the Saturday market, which was a bit thin (only four vendors). But one of those vendors was a Hutterite Colony from down south near Cabri with beautiful cabbages and broccoli (which have not yet made an appearance at the Saskatoon Farmers' Market). I hope they can sell enough veggies to pay for the drive up from Cabri four times a week!
I was told that some vendors from the Saskatoon Farmers' Market will be attending the satellite markets on weekdays, so there should be a few more vendors to choose from. I'm sure the seniors who live in the highrises around Market Mall are quite pleased, and I'm glad that I can continue to shop the market at Peavey Mart on Thursday. The more local veggie opportunities the better!

Hi Amy,
I am interested becoming in the vendor. Do I have to be a S'toon Farmers Market member? CAn you please explain to me how to get in?
Thank you for your time.
Sorry, Dina, I don't know the rules. You'll have to contact the market directly. Try emailing Gerald at gerald.l.harrison@shaw.ca
Who do I contact about setting up at these markets?
Hi, we love the purple onions in your header photo. Arranged like that they resemble tulips. Excellent composition!
Why thank you Anonymous. I never saw it that way but yes, tulips are loveable.
will there be green tomatoes for sale. On 51st, at peavey mart this coming Thursday. Please leave a response. Harriet.
Sorry Harriet I don't now if there will be tomatoes. I'm not associated with the market, I just shop there now and then.
