New Tuesday evening hours at Meadow Lake Farmers’ Market aim to boost access
Shoppers in Meadow Lake who can’t make it to the farmers’ market on Fridays during the day will soon have another options, as a new Tuesday evening market is set to roll out as a summer trial.
Glenn McCrimmon, vice-president of the Meadow Lake Farmers’ Market Board, said the idea came directly from residents who struggle to make it to the daytime hours of 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. because they’re at work.
“So at our last AGM (Annual General Meeting), we decided that we would try a night market or an evening market just to see if we can accommodate those other people,” he said.
The new market will run every Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m., starting July 15 and continuing through to Sept. 9 as a pilot project.
