Moose Jaw's vibrant and thriving farmer's markets are the perfect destination for those seeking fresh, local Saskatchewan flavours, art, crafts, jewellery, produce, and much more.
The city boasts two popular markets, the Homegrown Farmer's Market and the Wakamow Farmer's Market, each with their own distinct theme and offerings.
Homegrown Farmer’s Market — traditional handmade goods
Located in the heart of downtown Moose Jaw on scenic Langdon Crescent in front of Crescent Park and the Moose Jaw Public Library, the Homegrown Farmer's Market is a bustling open-air market that has been a part of life in the city for more than 20 years.
The Homegrown Farmer’s Market is held every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., beginning May 27 and running until the Thanksgiving weekend.
It is a celebration of the region's agricultural heritage and showcases the freshest locally grown produce, baked goods, handmade arts and crafts, teas, and more. Visitors can browse through a variety of stalls offering everything from seasonal fruits and vegetables to homemade bread, jams, honey, and flowers.
At the Homegrown Farmer's Market, the vendors are always friendly and ready to chat. Visitors can learn about how the goods on hand were made, grown, or repurposed, and how the producers and artisans learned their craft. The market usually features live music as well, adding to the lively, creative feeling on the street.
Wakamow Farmer’s Market — find almost anything
The Wakamow Farmer’s Market is a newer fundraising initiative by the Wakamow Valley Authority, beginning in 2021 and immediately exploding in popularity.
Unlike the Homegrown market, there are no restrictions on who can sell goods at the Wakamow market, leading to a much wider variety of vendors.
The Wakamow Farmer's Market is held every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., located in the beautiful Wakamow Valley park at the Kiwanis Oval and Pavilion. It begins May 27 and runs until September 9.
One of the highlights of the Wakamow Farmer's Market is the wide variety of food trucks and vendors offering delicious food and drink options. Visitors can indulge in mouth-watering street food like tacos, burgers, and ice cream, or quench their thirst with fresh-squeezed lemonade and other locally produced beverages.
Both the Homegrown Farmer's Market and the Wakamow Farmer's Market are important community events that bring together local farmers, food producers, craftspeople, artists, and visitors alike. They offer a unique opportunity to support local businesses, learn about the region's agricultural heritage, and taste some of the freshest and most delicious produce around.
