A charitable aspect sets this farmers’ market apart from other weekend markets – the vendors and market support charities such as Hope Mission and The Centre for Arts and Music. This outdoor market is conveniently located near South Edmonton Common, meaning it is super easy to stop by the market after doing the rest of your weekend shopping. Operating since 2010, it runs from the end of April to mid-October.
Ashlee Roger owns Better than Your Nan’s and sells her jams, nut butters, crackers and muesli at the Southwest Edmonton Farmers’ Market. She avoids using gelatin and pectin in her jams, instead thickening with chia seeds. Her products are naturally sweetened with agave and maple syrup. Check out her booth for some delicious homemade nut butters, too.
