The new market at Pier 20 on the Halifax waterfront will provide
year-around opportunities for Nova Scotia producers to sell their products
daily, weekly or seasonally as best suits their needs,
and to fill the growing demand for fresh local food.
The weekly tradition of “Saturday Market Day” will continue
and be enhanced with greater customer access and amenities.
This Next Generation Farmers' Market demonstrates the extra value our producers deliver to our customers with every purchase. |
