"Exciting News.... The South Fish Creek Recreation Association Farmers' Market has received official Sunnygirl Approval from Alberta Agriculture! We are now an approved market and very much look forward to the exciting changes ahead. The approval allows us to open up our market to even more vendors whom we would've turned away due to certain restrictions on food preparation! If you are interested in registering for the market please contact our office. Otherwise, come out every Friday to support the market from June 8 to September 21, 2012 from 1:00pm-5:00pm. We will be there rain or shine!!"

Roger's Farms (Full Season) Not only are we at Roger's Farms growing some of our own veggies in AB this year, we are now a certified organic grower! We have acquired a 2.5 acre certified organic garden by Leslieville, west of Sylvan Lake. We are growing our own organic carrots, beets, potatoes, garlic, onions and sweat peas for sale at the farmers markets that we service in Southern Alberta. This has been in response to farmers markets preferring to have AB growers rather than commercial (resellers & BC/Intl produce) and also customers frequently asking if we grow the produce that we sell if it is organic. It makes it easier for market managers to meet the 80/20 regulation and improves the quality of produce, our image and the experience the customer has at the farmers' market. Each year we have been increasing our variety and quantity of local AB produce that we sell. We have also been increasing our network of local famers that we work in cooperation with, bringing their local produce to markets that they are not at, helping them to move produce during peak harvest time, reducing spoilage and increasing income for small local farmers.
