I volunteered at a food bank event held by the farmer's market. The market is very engaged with the community, and I had a great time trying some of the delicious, healthy food. I even bought some fresh vegetables and fruit! They sell homemade and organic produce, and the quality is excellent. If you're a first-time visitor, I'd recommend checking their hours before you go.
Returned to this farmers market after a long hiatus and was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of products available here. A vast array of fresh produce from local growers as well as BC fruit was on display. I would say that the quality of almost all the products that I looked at was quite high as were the prices listed with them. The area of the market that I found reasonable prices was in the food court area. I believe that there were no less than 2 dozen food vendors and believe me that some of the freshly served food here was exceptional...nA special shout out to Margaritas for their amazing Eastern European cuisine. I had a plate of cabbage roll, perogies w/bacon, bratwurst w/sauerkraut, and steam veggies for about $18..... Each item on the plate was Amazingly Good!nnBottom Line: 8.5 out of 10

Visiting the Calgary Farmers’ Market on a sunny Saturday in May was the perfect way to kick off summer! The place was buzzing with energy—fresh fruits, vibrant vegetables, quality meats, handcrafted goods, and so many delicious food options. I loved the variety and the local feel of it all. Whether you’re shopping for your kitchen or just out to enjoy a relaxed weekend stroll with good eats, this market has something for everyone. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Calgary!
A local friend brought me here to take a look. The prices at the stalls are a bit higher than those at regular supermarkets, even though the produce comes directly from the farms. Still, many people are happy to spend here as a way to support the farmers.
