Old Strathcona Farmer's Market, Indoor farmers market in Old Strathcona, Edmonton, Canada.
Description
Old Strathcona Farmer's Market is a year-round covered marketplace in a historic brick building where roughly 80 local vendors offer fresh produce, artisanal foods, and handmade goods. The interior is filled with stalls arranged in rows, displaying the various colors and flavors of fruits, vegetables, and specialty products.
History
The market was founded in 1983 as Edmonton's first year-round indoor marketplace of its kind. It has operated continuously since opening and has become an established community gathering place.
Culture
The space brings together neighbors and visitors to exchange ideas about local goods and craftsmanship. Conversations between sellers and buyers turn shopping into a social event rather than just a transaction.
Practical
The market building is easy to reach on foot and has nearby parking for visitors. Plan your visit for Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons when you will find good selection and fewer crowds.
Did you know?
Many vendors grow or make their own products, meaning you can talk directly with the people who raised or made the food. This direct link between grower and buyer is less common and makes each visit feel more personal.
