K, since I know some of you do shop at farmers' markets in or around Calgary I thought I'd give you all the head's up that the Grassroots Northland Farmers' Market is moving away from Northland Village Mall after 24 continuous years there.

Yes, I have a personal connection to this market in that a non-profit that my wife sits on owns this market and she has also managed this market for 9 years.

Never the less, I do know that there are some Calgary SSP members do frequent this market and thought a notice would be courteous. The reason for this move is that the current owners of Northland Village Mall are intending to undertake a major redevelopment of that property and they will not be able to accommodate the farmers market moving forward.

So the new location will be in the NE parking lot at Deerfoot City - am in the process of moving the sea can right now. Other changes will probably include some sort of name change to reflect the new location. Most of our current vendors will be following us to the new location and it appears that the market will be able to expand into new offerings that they were unable to provide at Northland.

Mods, you're more than welcome to delete this thread if it violates forum rules - otherwise, the Grassroots Skaters Foundation would like you to come check out Calgary's oldest continuously running and largest outdoor seasonal farmers market at Deerfoot City next spring.
