The opening of the new Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market is on-target for July 2010.

The new market at Pier 20 on the Halifax waterfront will provide year-around opportunities for Nova Scotia producers to sell their products to customers who care.

Daily, weekly or seasonally as best suits their needs,
to fill the accelerating demand for fresh local food.

The weekly tradition of “Saturday Market Day” will continue
and be enhanced with greater customer access and amenities.
 
This Next Generation Farmers' Market demonstrates the extra value
our producers deliver to our customers with every purchase.

Local – Sustainable – Ethical : the Farmers' Market community, the city, province and Canada working together to build a better Nova Scotia.
 
Financing for the Seaport Farmers' Market came from the members of the City Market of Halifax Co-operative, the Nova Scotia Departments of Agriculture and Energy, Halifax Regional Municipality, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, and the Farmers' Market Investment Cooperative. Credit is being provided by the Canadian Farm Credit Corporation.
 
Designer of the project: Keith Tufts, Lydon Lynch Architects . Construction by RCS Construction
