2015 Season is Approaching

I have not posted much on this blog because we don't seem to have many followers. However, the season is approaching and thought I would at least give the dates and times.

Opening day is June 13. Market hours are 10am to 3pm. The market runs every Saturday all summer until September 26.

Check out the Swift Current and District Farmers' Market page on Facebook for more consistent information.

If you are considering being a vendor, please contact Sarah Galvin at sgalvin@shaw.ca

We only accept vendors who 'make it, bake it or grow it'. All other interested vendors can please contact the City of Swift Current, ask for Marlene, to participate on Market Square. All vendors will be considered.
