Alberta Farmers’ Market Association Verified Vendor
WOOLgathering is proud to share in the great tradition of Alberta Farmers’ Markets.
These markets offer an opportunity for local producers and discerning shoppers to come together.
They draw new visitors to small communities that might otherwise be overlooked.
They offer folks in larger centers an opportunity to shop for fresh-from-the-farm products and carefully handcrafted goods.
“Over 140 Alberta approved farmers' markets serve up some of the most nutritious, fresh, local products. Shoppers can talk to the person who grew the carrots, raised the chicken, baked the bread, produced the jam, or knitted the sweater. Each approved farmers' market in Alberta is independently operated and reflects the rich culture of its community.”

No small business could survive without the support of its local community of producers, processers, and service providers. These are a few of the very important suppliers and supporters of WOOLgathering:
