Market Information
MARKET HOURS - SATURDAY'S, 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M., JUNE 16, 2012 THROUGH OCT. 6, 2012
The Millarville Farmers' Market is one of the largest and most successful of the Alberta Approved Farmers' Markets and belongs in a special group sometimes described as a "Make It, Bake It, Grow It Market."
In order to qualify as an Alberta Approved Farmers' Market, 80% of our vendors must be selling Alberta products, which they, an immediate family member or staff have grown, produced, handcrafted, processed or baked. Cooperative farming enterprises are included in this 80% percent. The remaining twenty percent (20%) of the vendors must sell products that will complement the market mix and represent interests that will enhance the community spirit of the market. Sales by agricultural commodity or agri-food associations are allowed provided that their products complement the existing vendor mix and that they meet the requirements of who may sell at an Approved market. Sale of products by distributors, franchises or existing storefront owners or the re-sale of any products is discouraged. The sale of used goods or flea market products is prohibited at Approved Farmers’ Markets. The 20% rule also allows for the sale of BC fruit. Markets like ours are administered and sanctioned by Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development.
