August 31 Map & Brussels Sprouts!
Corn season is in full swing! You'll find some on the tables of almost all of our vegetable producers. On the other hand, there's a vegetable you'll find at only one table – Brussels sprouts. The fascinating thing about Brussels sprouts is (besides their polarizing effect) the way they grow....
August 27 Map & Many Plaza Markets Left!
Thank you, Regina, for supporting local events and businesses. Market Under the Stars went out with a bang, and we couldn't be more grateful! Our weekly markets this year, as well, have been bigger and busier than any years previous. Much love to our loyal customers that 'support local'...
August 24 Map & Saskatchewan Apples!
Did you know crab apples aren't the only type of apples that grow in Saskatchewan? They're not! Most varieties of apples grown here are smaller and more tart than the varieties that grow in places like BC. While they aren't necessarily as sweet, I'd say apples from our province are more...
August 20 Map & Perogies!
New vendor, MeeMee's Bites, will be attending their first market tomorrow! Homemade perogies are the main focus of MeeMee's Bites, but not all of them are traditional. Savoury perogies come in a variety of flavours; one stand-out is the "Fully Loaded" with cheddar, garlic, bacon and chives mixed...
August 17 Map & Colourful Markets!
It's the most wonderful colourful time of the year! August at the farmers' market is really a rainbow of food. There are still spring-like shades of green (herbs and lettuce), summer hues of red and purple (radishes and beets), and glimpses of autumn yellow and orange (corn and...
LAST Market Under the Stars August 25 - Everything You Need to Know!
It’s time for Round 3 of Market Under the Stars! For all three Markets Under the Stars in 2016, we want to give you more. More of the things you love (more Food Tasting, more Liquor Tasting and more music!) as well as past favourites (yoga, salsa dancing and RFM vendors). Date:...
August 13 Map & Biggest Market Ever!
Tomorrow, August 13, will be the largest market RFM has ever had! A total of 89 vendors will be set up, filling the Plaza and 3/4 of Scarth Street! So far, 2016 has been very good to us. We've had (mostly) very pleasant weather, eager vendors and many loyal customers. We're beyond grateful!...
August 10 Map & Market T-Shirts!
Vendors have received first pick, and now our new t-shirts are up for grabs! Articulate Ink designed and printed them for us on quality American Apparel black shirts. Sizes range from small to double extra large, with limited amounts available. Get to the RFM Info Tent (located at the centre of...
August 6 Map & LOCATION CHANGE!
Please be aware that the market WILL NOT be on the Plaza tomorrow! Regina Folk Festival is taking place in Victoria Park as well as on City Square Plaza. As a result, you'll find us on the 1900 and 2000 blocks of Scarth St. We often use 1900 block, but rarely 2000 block (south of Victoria...
August 3 Map & Garlic!
It's the day many of you have been waiting for; The Garlic Garden will be at market tomorrow with fresh garlic! The growing conditions for garlic in 2016 were just right, and Anna says they have "big, beautiful garlic heads" this year! Aside from fresh garlic, garlic braids, dehydrated...
July 30 Map & Mead!
RFM is excited to announce that we'll now be offering MEAD, starting tomorrow! Prairie Bee Meadery (operated by family owned business, Grandpa's Garden) is the latest to join the list of our fine beverage crafters (Last Mountain Distillery, Living Sky Winery, Over the Hill Orchards, and Black...
July 27 Map & Berries
It's time to say goodbye to the saskatoon berry. The season is coming to an end for what is arguably our most popular product. Loon Creek Saskatoons will have 100 buckets of fresh saskatoons tomorrow, but that's just about it. From Loon Creek and other vendors, we may still get one or two...
July 23 Map & Much Thanks
Regina, you're awesome! Market Under the Stars on July 7 was great, but Market Under the Stars on July 21 was even better! Many food Tastes were served, liquor Tastes were especially refreshing, performances by both Nick Faye and The Alley Dawgs were enjoyed, and the pie eating contest...
July 20 Map & Market Under the Stars, Round 2!
If you've missed a couple of markets, you may not be aware that Lincoln Gardens has returned to RFM. They're back, beside the Plaza stage and with 30' of tables overflowing with fresh veg! On Saturday, I noticed a bright orange bin loaded with yellow beans. I find yellow and green beans to be...
July 16 Map & HUGE Market!
85 vendors will be in attendance tomorrow! July and August are the months when RFM has the most variety to offer. Vegetable and fruit producers have full tables with more coming each week. Bakers are using summer berries in fresh baked goods. Meat producers have your backyard barbecues covered....
Market Under the Stars July 21 - Everything You Need to Know!
It’s time for Round 2 of Market Under the Stars! For all three Markets Under the Stars in 2016, we want to give you more. More of the things you love (more Food Tasting, more Liquor Tasting and more music!) as well as past favourites (yoga, salsa dancing and RFM vendors). Date: Thursday,...
July 13 Map & Market Highlights
We're still in saskatoon berry season! If you're looking to buy berries, make sure you get to the market EARLY tomorrow. It's a popular item, naturally, and vendors will likely sell out of everything they bring. You can find saskatoons at Country Breeze Farms, Loon Creek Saskatoons, Rocky...
July 9 Map & Thank You, Regina!
Market Under the Stars last night was a huge success! A big thank-you goes out to the people of Regina for attending and Regina Downtown BID for their invaluable support. Thank-you as well to all volunteers, staff, vendors, food trucks, and restaurants involved. We hope to see you all again on...
July 6 Map & Saskatoon Berries!
The berries that Saskatchewanians wait so impatiently for are finally here, and they're early! Heliotrope Organic Farm was the first to bring them to market (this past Saturday) and they’ll have more tomorrow. Because saskatoons are ready and other berries aren't far behind, Country Breeze Farms...
July 2 Map & Cherries!
I’ve been asked the same two questions repeatedly for the last 2 weeks, the first, “when will there be saskatoon berries?” and the second, “when will the fruit truck be here?” As for the berries, I can tell you that Rocky Acres Orchard will have some on July 9. In response to the second question,...
June 29 Map & Taco Salad!
There may be a time and place for taco-in-a-bag, but it certainly isn't during the market at the Nacho Fiesta food truck. You won't find chips with powdered cheese or store-bought salsa on their taco salad. Instead, you'll get homemade cilantro lime dressing, fresh pico de gallo and real...
June 25 Map & New Products
We all know how tempting two-bite brownies are, but how many of us have had two-bite pancakes?? Well, I have, and I might even like them better than two-bite brownies. This miniature stack of pancakes was made by one of our talented bakers, Sweet Miracle. The little pancakes are yeasted...
Market Under the Stars - Everything You Need to Know!
At Market Under the Stars this year, we’re aiming to please. You’ll see more of the things you love (more Food Tasting, more Liquor Tasting and more music!) as well as past favourites (yoga, salsa dancing and RFM vendors). Date: Thursday, July 7 (two more coming up on July 21 and...
June 22 Map & What's in Season
PEA season is upon us! This is what your peas are going to look like if you don't come early enough: empty. Southland Colony will have a small amount available, and I'm going to eat them all, if I can. You better get there before I do! It's just the beginning of pea season, so if you miss...
June 18 Map & Strawberries!
Fruits and vegetables always taste better when they're in season. Peaches are juicier, carrots are crunchier and strawberries are sweeter. You can test the strawberries for yourself–Southland Colony will have some tomorrow! I love strawberries, but here's my problem: I always buy too many!...
