RFM Timeline History

1975: RFM's First Market

In 1975, Regina Farmers’ Market Co-operative (RFM) was incorporated, building on the success of a four-market pilot project in August 1974. The founding farmers incorporated the co-operative and held the first official Regina Farmers’ Market on August 9, 1975 at Regina’s Exhibition Grounds. Farmer-driven from the start, the inaugural Regina Farmers’ Market season was attended by 22 producers and took place over a short fall harvest season. Since then, the RFM has evolved to include a weekly event throughout all four Saskatchewan seasons with over 100 vendors selling a diverse range of Saskatchewan-made products.
