Sept. 21 Map & New Products!
Cheang's Sinofood received a lot of love during Market Under the Stars this summer, particularly for their curried chicken steamed buns. Because of the positive feedback, Cheang's Sinofood thought it necessary to add another kind of steamed bun – BBQ pork! The pork filling is made with a...

Sept. 10 Map & Feta Cheese!
Rennet, culture, salt, and wholesome Saskatchewan sheep milk; that's what's in Craibstone Creamery feta cheese. It's real food made by real people, and it's good for you, too. Many of Craibstone Creamery cheeses are based on Scottish family recipes, but the flavour of each batch may vary. This is...
Sept. 7 Map & Bee Glue!
Plenty of new products have been popping up throughout the summer, but few are quite as fascinating as propolis – glue of the honey bee hive. Bees use propolis in many ways. Among other applications, they may use it to smooth rough surfaces, seal cracks, cover holes, or even envelope...
Sept. 3 Map & Squash Sightings!
There were a couple of pre-September squash sightings (as far back as August 27), but I wasn't quite ready to talk about them. Now that our first September market is here, I guess it's time. Pattypan squash and pumpkins were spotted at Miller's By-Gone Farm. Spring Creek Gardens and Lincoln...
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!...

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....
