10 farmers' markets we're looking forward to around Edmonton this year
This snowmelt is really starting to make summer seem on the horizon, and one thing we look forward to in Edmonton every season is our farmers’ markets.
There is nothing better than browsing the stalls and picking up some fresh produce on a hot and sunny afternoon.
Even though many are in the Edmonton area, only a few are open year-round. As we look ahead to warmer days, though, we thought we’d round up some of our favourite markets that we’re looking forward to.
