Saskatoon farmers market


The Saskatoon Farmers' Market is a public Farmers' market housed in a former electrical warehouse and garage in the Riversdale, district of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The building was renovated and an outdoor market plaza created as part of the River Landing redevelopment. The market and Ideas Inc. (a business incubator) moved into its current building in May 2007. The building was originally associated with the Saskatoon Light & Power A. H. Cole power plant built in 1910 and torn down in the 1990s.

The market is a cooperative owned by the market vendors. The building itself is owned by the city.
