FARM MARKETS

Recently named one of the top 8 markets in Canada to visit
by Harrowsmith Magazine (June, 2006), the WW Boyce Farmers Market is a Saturday morning tradition in Fredericton!

Farmers, artisans, crafts people and others offer a tempting array of fresh harvested vegetables, home baked bread and sweets, fresh meat, poultry and eggs, crafts, and flowers - as well as a variety of ethnic food prepared on the spot for hungry shoppers. The people are as interesting as the products, and many Frederictonians start their Saturdays at "The Market", open every Saturday from 6am to 1pm.
