The Summerside Farmers Market operates as a weekly destination for residents to purchase fresh produce and goods from local vendors. Starting at 9:00 AM, the market is open every Saturday throughout the year.
Located in the lower level of the historic Holman Building at 250 Water St in downtown Summerside, Prince Edward Island, the market has been a community fixture since 2005. The building itself dates back to 1857 when it was founded by Robert Tinson Holman, eventually becoming the largest retail business on the Island.
The market operates as a registered cooperative with 21 members and typically hosts about 35 vendors each week. Shoppers can find a variety of local items, including Island-grown vegetables, fruit, meat, cheese, eggs, and baked goods, alongside artisan crafts like pottery and jewellery. Many producers also provide Certified Organic options for customers.
The market remains open every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM throughout the year. Beyond shopping, the space serves as a community hub, offering a complimentary table for local groups to share information or raise funds. Further information on participating businesses can be found through Explore Summerside.
