Farmer’s market in full swing in the Battlefords
Not only is the variety of fruits and vegetable becoming more diverse at the farmer’s market, but vendors are also bringing in more products which range from meat to jams and jellies, local honey and homemade plant fertilizer.
Erin Cooper, director of the Battlefords and District farmer’s market said the market is in the process of bringing in more people who can provide fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits.
“We have around 10 to 12 tables on a regular basis,” Cooper said. “A lot of new vendors are coming in and the vegetable vendors are making their appearance. There will be lots of fruits and veggies now until the end of the fall.”
Alongside the fresh produce are a range of other products never seen before. This year, an entire stand is devoted to jams and jellies and the creative ways in which fruit can be put in to pies, turnovers and cakes.
