| - The Calgary Farmers Market is an upscale year round occupant of the Currie Barracks in the southwest.
The vast warehouse space is filled with the wares of local farmers, meat producers, craftsmen and artisans, food vendors and buskers, all housed in quaint wooden stalls. Because it's local, you're getting your produce at its peak, so the quality and flavours are far superior to that of the "ho-hum" they sell at the grocery store.
It's always busy whenever I'm there on the weekends, so I've learned to take the first spot I see in the enormous gravel parking lot and hoof it.
It's a great place for young and old alike. Most vendors serve up tons of samples to tempt you with their goods. If you still have some room after all that eating, the Market has a diverse food court serving up a variety of tasty creations made by locals - Indian, Greek, Chinese, - you name it.
I try and get down here a couple times a month to pick up produce, and you should too. But do it quick before it moves from the current location to somewhere deep in the southeast.
