Farmers' Markets of Nova Scotia Cooperative Ltd

The Lunenburg Farmers' Market, along with the ten other independent Farmers’ Markets listed here are member-owners of a cooperative business - Farmers' Markets of Nova Scotia - dedicated to supporting the more than 450 small to medium size businesses we support by providing excellent retail environments for the sale of local goods.

Collectively, our markets contribute significantly to the economic support of local producers and their communities. Throughout Nova Scotia Farmers' Markets are successfully providing smaller Nova Scotia farmers and food producers, artisans and artists an opportunity to sell quality products locally. In total, operation of our markets is estimated to be worth more than $62,000,000 a year to the provincial economy.

In many Nova Scotia towns, Farmers' Markets are key components of local economic development programs because we bring shoppers into other businesses and we bring business people together in a weekly celebration of local enterprise.

Beyond that, the economic value of Farmers' Markets includes the public health and environmental benefits of building a market for whole foods and other goods produced locally. When you add to that our value as informal public education venues, with 12-14,000 socializing customers a week May-October and 4-6,000 people involved weekly the rest of the year, it's easy to see why...
