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.
Craft 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.
