The best part of summer is when peaches are in season! Many of our customers at Leduc Farmers Market tell us they come back every week to load up on the sweet peaches from our vendors. Besides eating those juicy peaches as-is, there are so many other interesting things you can make with them including peach salsa! Here is a wonderful and easy peach salsa recipe that is the perfect addition to any summer meal. 

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh tomatoes, diced
1 bell pepper, finally diced
2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1/4 cup of chives, chopped
1 1/2 lbs peaches, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste

  1. Chop tomatoes and put them in a large bowl.
  2. Finely chop bell pepper and jalapeños. Make sure seeds are removed. Finely chop your onion. Add all to bowl.
  3. Dice the peaches and add to bowl. No need to remove the skin. 
  4. Finely chop your cilantro and chives. Add to bowl.  Measure in your lime juice and add in your salt and pepper. Fold everything together until well mixed. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with chips or crackers.

Leduc Farmers Market Location Change - Community Support and Suggestions

6/11/2019

0 Comments

Thank you to our loyal customers and the Leduc community for weathering the many location changes of Leduc Farmers’ Market over the last several years! Our journey has been challenging and we would like to be transparent with some of the setbacks we have faced so there is a better understanding of how we arrived at our current location at Leduc Heritage Grain Elevator!

Over the years we have been at the Alexandra Arena (our preferred location), moving to two downtown locations and back and forth to the Leduc Recreation Centre. Each location had pros and cons for vendors and customers, but were unable to satisfy the requirements of all parties involved. Our team has scouted every area of Leduc to find the 'perfect' location. Some of the locations we have researched are Leduc Common, several downtown options and a few on the south and east sides of the city. Many spots are unavailable for the market to use, or the cons outnumber the pros. 

We discovered that Leduc Heritage Grain Elevator checked off most of our boxes and we are pleased to be trying out this location in hopes of making it permanent in the future. The Grain Elevator offers good visibility, plenty of space for vendors and ample parking around the area. We are aware there are some issues such as busy traffic flow, periodical muddy conditions and difficult terrain for those with mobility issues. With time, changes and improvements can be made once we make the decision if this will be our permanent home. 

For now, we ask that you, our very valued customers, to continue to offer constructive suggestions that will positively enhance your shopping experience at the new location! We are also very open to hearing your proposals of locations in Leduc, taking into consideration the size of vendor vehicles, space for future growth, cost of land rental, visibility, parking and whether the location is willing to host the market on both Thursdays and Saturdays. We are willing to look into any feasible option.
Send Suggestions Now!
In the meantime, please positively regard the nature of our situation and continue to show your wonderful support for local small businesses. We want to become a destination to which you happily take your family and friends!

​Kind Regards
The Leduc Farmers’ Market Board

“I have always loved crafting and building,” reflects Mary-Jane, Owner of One Stitch Two Stitch, “I started initially because we were having trouble finding unique clothing that suited the broad range of shapes and sizes at our workplace.”

Choose from their ready-to-buy graphic designs made for babies, kids, adults, or — print your own custom design! Whether it’s a funny anecdote, a team logo, or a photograph, Mary-Jane is available to bring your idea to life on fabric.
​

Their home décor options includes toss pillows, tea towels, and other embroidered items. Depending on the week, you might even be lucky enough to find one of her creations made from reclaimed pallet wood! Past works of art we’ve seen from Mary-Ann have been gardening planters, coat hangers, and chalk boards.

Featured Vendor of the Week: Wooly Goat Soap

8/1/2017

1 Comment

 
Wooly Goat Soap brings handmade, all-natural goat’s milk soap and other bath, body, and laundry products to the Leduc Farmers Market. A proud vendor for three years and counting, we’re always excited to see what new inventions they have to offer.
Picture
The inception of their product line began in 2014 with an experiment! As a leader for the Junior Forest Wardens, connecting young people and their families with natural skills, Carmen Dabels decided to learn and teach the ancient art of soap making to the kids. The whole experience and end-product were so well received, she decided to launch into business and share with her community!
​

Made without the use of perfumes, fragrance oils, or dyes, Wooly Goat products are perfect for people with sensitive skin. Naturally healing ingredients like lavender, neem, bentonite clay, and more are blended to provide a nourishing alternative to conventional products with harsh chemicals. From 8 thieves and after-tattoo salves to bath bombs and mud masks, this Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan creator has you covered.

One of their soap innovations we love most are those that have been hand felted with a combination of sheep, alpaca, or llama wool! The wool cover on the soap forms a luxurious lather and also actually allows the soap to dry faster — making it the ideal companion for camping, hiking, and travel.
Picture
You can find Wooly Goat Soap and dozens of other amazing vendors at the Leduc Farmers Market every Thursday from 10 am to 1:30 pm at the Leduc Recreation Centre (4330 Black Gold Dr). “Meeting new people” is Carmen’s favourite part about being a vendor at Leduc Farmers Market, so make sure you stop by her booth and say hello!

A post shared by Whipped Up Baked Goods (@whippedup_yeg) on Jun 15, 2017 at 4:37am PDT

The company started in 2015 with an authentic love of baking and Macarons. Owner, Kandace Kobryn, was sold after taking her first bite at a local bakery!

“The great thing about Macarons is how versatile they are for flavouring and colouring! It allows me to think outside the box and stray away from traditional flavours. I pull from childhood memories to create little bites of nostalgia and a fun new experience for customers.” - Kandace Kobryn, Owner of Whipped Up Baked Goods

Out-of-the-box flavours, indeed! From Saskatoon Berry and Nanaimo Bar to Sour Cherry Blaster and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, her creations are always evolving — a surprise to look forward to every Thursday from 10am - 1:30pm at Leduc Recreation Center (4330 Black Gold Dr).

Come down to the Leduc Farmers Market today from 10-1:30! We've got you covered with Strawberry Milkshake, Salted Caramel, Peaches n Creme, S'mores, Toasted Coconut, and Honey Earl Grey!

We believe two of the greatest benefits to attending the Leduc Farmers Market are being able to support local business and to walk away the freshest products. In alignment, Whipped Up Baked Goods’ has made the commitment to using fresh and local ingredients whenever possible — just another reason to swoon over their sweet treats!

Featured Vendor of the Week: Medicine Hat Meat Traders Ltd.

7/12/2017

2 Comments

 
Meet the Meat Traders from Medicine Hat! We love to hear that after 3 years at the Leduc Farmers Market, it’s the community vibes and loyal customers that keep them coming back!

At their stand you’ll see a variety of Soft Beef Jerky, Beef Bits, Caesar Sticks, and Fermented Pepperoni — all direct from their family Ranch in Southeast Alberta.
Picture
Their family ranch was established 83 years ago and since they launched the jerky business in 2007, the wisdom of four-generations of family have influenced the growth and success of their product line!

To create the Jerky, they use a blend of both the succulent and flavourful locomotive muscles and the tender structural muscles to reach their famously soft and distinct texture. With wild flavours like Chipotle-lime and Habanero to the Teriyaki and Original classics, it’s a must-try for any local-supporting carnivore. Using 100% quality Canadian beef, MHMT is proud to offer a true Alberta beef snacking experience.

In light of Canada’s 150th birthday, MHMT shows just how Canadian they are with their Beef Jerky Caesar Sticks — just the thing to take your summer caesar game to the next level. Their cheeky note next to the storage instructions — “Just in case you don’t devour the whole bag!” — left us laughing!

There's snow on the mountains! You know what that means... It's almost time to break out the snowboards, skis and sleds! Don't forget about the best mountain snack around - beef jerky! Order online at MHMT.ca □□□□ * * * * * * #beefjerky #rockymountains #yyc #yeg #yql #reddeer #alberta #canmore #banff #mountainsports #snowboards #skis #sleds #jerkylove #jerkylife #protein #snack #glutenfree #yycfood #yegfood #yycfoodies #yegfoodies
