My boyfriend George, buying some fresh garlic.

I love the vibe of this Farmer's Market! The majority of the market is indoors and it's free to come inside. You can buy many types of fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, pastries, candies, plants and so much more! They also have a huge assortment of unique crafts and specialty products here. My family loves the delicious cakes from Andy's Country Kitchen. Our favourite flavours are the Malibu Rum and the Kahlua cakes. These cakes are moist and so flavourful. For those who don't like alcohol flavoured cakes, they also have a lot of other non alcohol flavoured cakes to choose from. Our family has enjoyed these cakes on many special occasions! It's become somewhat of a tradition. We've even given them as gifts. I definitely recommend tasting these cakes! I don't drink coffee but I know my sister and brother in law regularly buy the Perfecto Domingo coffee (ground for French Press) at Catfish Coffee Roasters. They love quality and they buy here all the time. When they can't come to the market, they often ask me to buy a buy this coffee for them. This vendor also has many other flavours to choose from. Over time, it's easy to develop a routine on visiting particular vendors here. However, I sometimes try to change things up and buy products from the other booths. There are really so many things to discover here. I love coming to the Farmer's markets because it is a wonderful way to support local businesses. The food is fresh and often times organic. It's definitely a fun way to spend time on a Saturday!

I can't stand the crowds. Strollers hitting you in the back of the leg. Getting stabbed with a toddler's ice cream cone. I like supporting local growers and vendors, but ever since my grocer started carrying many of the same items, I buy them at the store. If I happen to be walking by near the end of the day when the traffic has slowed, I'll look in just to check it out. I really haven't purchased anything in years.

Went to the market today for vegetables and herbs and left with so much more. Riverbend Gardens had herbs in pots, but they also had some beautiful flowers in pots and in hanging pots. Yes, I bought one and yes it was $45, but the colors are amazing. We also had lunch at the market and I had a wonderfully satisfying Vietnamese Beef Red Wine Stew. My husband had a large cinnamon bun with cream cheese icing. It was so busy that I held a spot while he got his food and then he held a spot while I got my food. By the time I got back, his large bun was half gone so sorry, no picture of the bun. It was extremely busy, so it was hard for walking and carrying purchases, but wonderful for people watching and for seeing big smiles.

OSFM flash mob April 2012

I went to OSFM to torture myself today and to get to know what the market has to offer. It was torture because I am currently on the Master Cleanse that doesn't allow for any food. With all the booths offering free samples of their wares it took all the self control in the world to stay strong. While walking each isle I still wanted to research my options for my first meal after the cleanse. I found a few gems that I will be going back to: 1. Kim Chee Place - Korean cuisine that looks like it has some really tasty kimchi. They also have have gyoza's and a few canned spices. It's run by a real Korean family and I trust their food to be genuine. 2. Don Antonio's Mexican Food - This booth had fresh corn tortilla's in both large and small sizes. I love Mexican cuisine so I'll have to come back. Now a little bit of constructive criticism: I found that the prices for all products were atleast 15-25% higher than most places. I guess there is no tax added to the prices but I found it pretty steep. Especially the meat locations. Frozen packaged meat shouldn't be that expensive no matter how organic or far away it came from. Overall I will definitely be coming back to OSFM but I am looking forward to trying out other farmer's markets in the city to compare.

Talk about doing something nice on a Saturday morning. The Old Strath. market is a lively market to spend your Sat. morning browsing through the various fresh vegetable shops, speciality goods (I bought chimichurri sauce today) and so on, whilst drinking a cup of coffee. Of course, I live quite close to the market and nothing makes me happier than to find myself free on a Saturday morning to go down and get some fresh fruits, vegetables and bread for a good quality brunch at home! Of course, in summer there are a lot more options of fresh produce, however I do agree with Jessica L.'s review that the downtown market is quite a bit better. Given that the Strath market is open through the year, I still give it a 4* rating owing to its viability. Although the downtown market's better, I still think the Strath. market is pretty high up in quality. Also, it must be added that they have great spring-time potted herbs and plants that are so accessible to pick up (as opposed to going to Home Depot!). All in all: A good atmosphere with great kettle corn, decent produce, awesome speciality goods (did you know that in these last few months a Montreal-style bagel shop has opened up there?) and open through winter. It's a great way to meet up with friends in winter, since options aren't so vast.

The Old Strathcona Farmers' Market is a great way to spend a free Saturday morning or afternoon, and support local farmers at the same time. There are tables and tables of fresh veggies and fruits, meats, cheese, baked treats, and even seafood. Of course, they're busiest in the summer, but they're open year-round so you can still enjoy the market in the winter. I like to come here in the summer for the ice cream, but in the winter they have more crafts available, just in time for the holiday season. Some things here tend to be a little more expensive than at the store or grocers, but practically everything is organic, and it's all local so you'll really be supporting the local farmers. The market has a tight-knit community feel to it, since it's all about local roots. You get nothing but a healthy and feel-good experience here.

A relatively large market just South of downtown Edmonton, Old Strathcona Farmer's Market is a great place to shop for Organic seasonal produce and locally-raised meats, at least one-hundred vendors and several-fold more patrons packing the place on Saturdays with bakers, crafters and more also accounted for. Stop in for everything from a cup of Coffee and live music plus Doughnuts from Moonshine to Duck Breast and locally made Pickles ready to be part of the night's feast.

The Farmer's Market is always an adventure on Saturday morning! It's fun to meander up and down the aisles with a friend. But be warned, with all the fresh food on display, you might not be able to resist! I love the Farmer's Market because of the culture. Everyone has their booth set up with the best of the best and no one harasses you or tries to lure you in - it's just an honest day's work! There are some really unique things to take a gander at too. Some of the homemade jewelry and clothing are quite fetching. The hustle and bustle of all the market-goers are part of the fun too! I always enjoy myself when I go to the Farmer's Market - even if I don't buy anything, I still have a good time!

THE freshest tastiest sourdough breads in Edmonton. One of…read moremy favourite locally-owned and operated businesses, a trip to this bakery after night shift is one of the highlights of my week. Service is always friendly. The store is often busy with a line out the door, especially on Friday and Saturday after 9 a.m. Here's a few tips to be a better patron and have a better experience: Breads can be ordered online for quick in-store pickup. Some items are made daily, some on certain days only, it's all listed online. They will slice your bread in the store for you if you like. Come as close to opening as possible for best selection, especially on one-off days, e.g. - bagels made only on Wednesdays sell out quickly. They also have a lovely European and Canadian cheese selection! Consider browsing their current cheeses online, as there are many beautiful cheeses but no space to really ogle at them in the store. Come in prepared to avoid hovering for too long in the small customer space. There are a couple other regular non-bread items, like honey, traditional dijon, coffee beans, rillettes/terrine, French butter and recently a small selection of deli meat. One could almost make a mixed charcuterie plate after a quick visit here. Parking behind the business is tight but doable. Street parking is available within quick walking distance in the adjacent neighbourhood. Only d-bags park right out front on 99 Ave, thus blocking an entire lane of traffic. I've noticed it's usually mid-age women in expensive SUVs. Goes with the hood I guess. Eat high-quality bread and be happy!

This is the place for French style baguette, croissants, pastries and a variety of bread…read more Everything is baked to perfection and so delicious. There is also a wonderful selection of chews and you can also get coffee here. Don't worry if there is a lineup, the staff is efficient. My favourite is the pumpkin seed loaf.
