Saturday is the big day around the Halifax Farmers' Market. With bustling market-goers from near and far, fresh produce, baked treats, floral displays and colourful clothing and jewellery for all ages, the atmosphere is one of a kind.
But what happens on Friday? If you are not a vendor, chances are you do not know how much preparation is involved. Aside from the tireless work by farmers and craftspeople behind the scenes.
Today's market is rich with tradition and commitment from vendors and customers alike, a key that has sustained this market for longer than any other in Canada. But the Halifax Farmers' Market, a refreshingly simplistic organization, has always understood innovation, taking steps ahead of the crowd, to sustain one of Nova Scotia's gems. And it is taking one of its biggest steps yet.
Today, with an excess of 200 vendors who own, control and finance the market, this model of independence, interlocked with competitive cooperation is ready to embark on one of the most trendy business initiatives of our time. Taking steps ahead of the crowd, in innovation and efficiency, Canada's oldest market is ready to be deemed the most modern.
Halifax's Seaport Farmers' Market, the new, open concept location, will feature a complete environment-friendly theme and exudes every part of the three words of inspiration for the new plans; local, sustainable and ethical.
