Charlottetown Farmer's Market
Canadian Geographic magazine recently published its list of the ‘Top 10 Farmer’s Markets’ across Canada, and the Charlottetown Farmer’s Market made the list! To view the entire article, follow the link here.
Way to go, Charlottetown Market!
According to Farm Markets Canada, an advocacy group promoting local farm markets, direct sales from Canadian farm to consumer were valued at 3.09 billion dollars in 2008. That organization’s brochure describing the impact of farm markets can be downloaded here.
By next summer we have no doubt that the Summerside ‘Spring Street’ Farmer’s Market will join the list as well.
It just goes to show that people really do want fresh, local and organic foods and are willing to go out of their way to find them.
