Membership in
the
Saskatoon
Farmers' Market Co-operative
The objective of
the Saskatoon Farmers' Market is to operate facilities to market
agricultural products, arts and crafts produced in Saskatchewan by its
members and such other products approved by Saskatchewan Department of
Tourism and Small Business.
Members must make, bake or grow
whatever they are selling. It is not permitted to buy from someone else
and re-sell at the market. Each individual selling at the market must
be a qualified member and must be personally present to operate their
stall. This provides the customer the opportunity to deal directly with
the producer, which allows a personalized touch with the products that
are being purchased.
Craftsperson and bakers products must be 65% original. Merchandise made
up from purchased kits, for example, are not acceptable. All craft
items are juried by the Saskatoon Farmers' Market craft jury prior to
membership approval. All members selling any prepared foods must have
the Food Safe course offered through Public Health to qualify for
membership.
All members must abide by the Hazardous Products Act or the Food and
Drug Act.
Update: January
2010
We have begun to review new
applications for 2010. If you have something that fits with our
guidelines we would love to receive your application for membership.
Please remember we are an agricultural market and take a very limited
amount of craft items. If you qualify for membership as
detailed above, please download an application and forward it to our
office. New members will be considered for a Saturday stall if
they are able to attend a Wednesday market.
You can download a copy of the Application, Procedure and Needed Products.

Regulations to consider your ability to conform to Market
policies. Please refer to the Procedure and Needed Products to assist
your application.
