While I love the other Farmer's Markets in Calgary, they have become too busy, too expensive, and too snooty.
I'd never even heard of this market before this weekend, but I am sure glad I know now! The vendors are so friendly and down to earth. I spent a lot of time talking to many of them and hearing their passion about their food. While there are the typical big players found at almost all the markets, there are a LOT of unique, one-off vendors you can't find elsewhere.
The layout of the market is unique - there is an outdoor area, and many floors that make for exciting exploration.
From where I live it wasn't too bad of a drive using Stoney Trail - pretty much the same distance for me as driving into the city. Will definitely be back!
