Get excited: Farmer’s Market to open end-of-May

The Moose Jaw Homegrown Market, on Langdon Crescent in front of the public library, will open for the season on May 28 The Moose Jaw Homegrown Farmer’s Market on Langdon Crescent anticipates around 24 handcrafted, homemade artisanal vendors this year, while the Wakamow Farmer’s Market has accumulated about 50 vendors already. Diane Kramski, treasurer of the Homegrown Farmer’s Market and proprietor of Dewclaw Gardens, said the Homegrown market is a traditional farmer’s market — everything sold there is locally grown and/or produced. The market has been a part of life in Moose Jaw for over 20 years. “All our stuff is homemade, homegrown, homebaked,” Kramski said. “Fresh produce, flowers, crafts, sewing, knitting, crocheting, candles, soap, honey.” Kramski said their vendor list isn’t full yet, but they anticipate more applications once the market opens. With pandemic restrictions eased, she’s hoping they’ll have some food vendors for their customers again this year. The Homegrown Farmer’s Market will be set up in front of the Moose Jaw Public Library every Saturday from May 28 to Oct. 8 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. — rain or shine. If you’re interested in being a vendor, you can apply on their website at mjhomegrownmarket.com. Confirmed vendors so far include: • Bev’s Homemade • Florimac • Dewclaw Gardens • Bar over 3H Honey • Wizard Woodworks • D&N Crafts

Wakamow Farmer’s Market

The Wakamow Farmer’s Market began just last year as a new type of fundraiser for Wakamow Valley Park. Its initial run was a great success, with 45 vendors showing up for the first day. This year, they are anticipating quite a few more. The Wakamow market will run parallel with the Homegrown Farmer’s Market, beginning on May 28 and running until Oct. 1, although the hours will be slightly shorter: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There are no restrictions on who can sell goods at the Wakamow market, leading to a wider variety of available goods. Similar to the Homegrown market, Wakamow is hunting for food trucks to give hungry customers snack or meal options this summer. Space at the Wakamow market, which is held near the Wakamow skating oval, is filling up fast. Interested vendors should sign up sooner rather than later by emailing wakamow.events@sasktel.net. Confirmed vendors at the Wakamow Farmer’s Market so far include: • Minhas Distillery • Sunset Gourmet with Ashton • Berries Bees & Blooms • Homemade Heaven • Dale’s Broken Sticks • Blue Rose Gluten-Free Baking
