Spring Street Farmer’s Market |
|
The Summerside Farmers Market is a registered cooperative which operates a year-round weekly farmers’ market in the lower-level of the historic Holman Building in downtown Summerside. The cooperative consists of twenty one members who are primary producers, vendors of primary products or year-round crafts producers. The market averages 35 vendors throughout the year, although this fluctuates somewhat with the growing and craft sales seasons. Market vendors produce and sell Island grown or processed vegetables, fruit, berries, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, coffee, and cut flowers. Many of the producers offer Certified Organic products. All offer freshly grown and harvested foods. Artisans also sell jewellery, fabric items, pottery, and glass. We also offer a selection of baked goods, jams, jellies, sauces and gluten free products as well as food service featuring breakfast, lunch and snacks. The market is committed to community by providing a table to be used by community groups at no charge to raise funds or distribute information about their activities. The market also encourages young entrepreneurs by making space available at low cost (occupancy is a cost of doing business!) so they can experience the joys and challenges of creating, sourcing and selling a product. The market has worked closely with the visiting Katimovik groups providing work opportunities in the market and instruction on the economics of Canadian agriculture and why they should buy and eat locally.
