farmers' markets in & around calgary

if you don't like spending your weekends perusing farmers markets then i just don't understand you.  

for me, that describes my perfect saturday morning; coffee in one hand, reusable shopping bag in the other and plenty of vendors offering farm fresh food.

eating locally is eating seasonally, it's also healthier, better for the environment and supports farmers and producers in our own community.
