In 2013, a group of local food advocates set out to showcase just how much could grow during these sunny months. Together, they founded the Yellowknife Farmers Market, turning skeptics into believers. Today, it’s a beloved summer tradition where gardeners, growers, artists, and food lovers gather to share their produce and creations. From fresh flowers to zucchinis as big as your arm, this market is a celebration of northern abundance.
