In The Market

A visit to the Calgary Farmers Market, a local community haven for a variety of vendors. We go in depth with small businesses, Going Nuts and Pie Cloud. Going nuts is a family-owned and operated food company making all sorts of nut products. Pie Cloud embraces everything pie; sweet, savory and sublime. Everything is made from scratch with the best ingredients possible.

Millarville Farmers Market isn't just a market - it's also a community fair and horse race track. We explore the local vendors here. Stephen Gollan of The Spice Merchant travels all around the world to bring his fresh spices back to the local Alberta community, while Michael Perks at Little Monkey Metal Works uses welding and metal work to make unique art.

Airdrie Farmers Market of Alberta has makers, bakers and growers from nearby local communities. We have an in-depth look at local, family run buffalo ranchers at Dalziel Ranches. Then we get a behind the scenes tour of Fallen Timber Meadery, and how this local company and their bees make mead - some would describe it as a "honey wine."

Discover the mountain views at Canmore Market! This market is about 25km from Banff Alberta, and has vendors that reflect the art of the mountain scenery. Like Martine Desautels at Pots & Peaks who showcases her pottery and mugs. We also visit Luigi Mincome and his small business Da Luigi Gourmet, with artisan-made Jams, Jellies, and chili oils.

The Christmas spirit is in the air at the Spruce Meadows International Christmas Market! This holiday tradition brings in 100,000 visitors, and features over 200 unique local vendors. We explore the traditions of Blackfoot culture through Indigenous run Boychief Trading Post, and the wonders of homemade dog treats with local Calgary vendor Cheddar Dogs.
