If you can make it, bake it, or grow it, you’ll probably find it at a New Brunswick farmer’s market. Here are a few to check out.

Think farmers markets are for summer only? Think again. The ground might freeze in the fall and our black bears may go into hibernation for the winter, but New Brunswick growers, bakers, farmers, and artisans won’t let a little weather get in the way of our beloved farmer’s market tradition. They’re such a part of our culture that it just wouldn’t feel right to pack things up once the temperatures drop. 

Here are some markets open all year long that you might want to check out this fall and winter. And remember, the early bird gets the worm (or in this case the seafood, veggies, pastries, cheese, homemade gifts... you get the idea.)

What we like: The fact that it’s the oldest continuing farmers' market in Canada (first opened in 1876) is pretty cool. So is the fact that the roof resembles the inverted keel of a ship.
