Nova Scotia’s First Farmers’ Market Week is Sprouting!

The grassroots celebration aims to shine a spotlight on the vibrant community of small businesses that make up the province's farmers' markets. It also seeks to raise awareness about the crucial role these markets play in supporting the local economy and sustainable food systems, while encouraging more residents to explore and enjoy their local markets.
