Our Alberta Approved, Mahogany SE Farmers Market is a family-friendly space run by the Mahogany Homeowners Association (Mahogany HOA), and their team of dedicated staff led by the Market Manager/Coordinators. The Mahogany Farmers Market cannot guarantee a permanent spot for any vendor. Location is subject to change at any time deemed necessary by the Market Team. The Farmers Market is unable to guarantee exclusivity to any vendor for any product however, product selection will be considered.

Priority for vendor selection, in order:  

● Vendors of agricultural products where they are the grower/producer. Top priority is given to local farmers and producers who bring product that is 100% grown or raised within 300 km of the market. Local farmers who use low-environment impact growing, raising, and harvesting methods, and those with organic certification

● Vendors who make, bake, or grow the product(s) they are selling 

● Vendors selling value added or Craft/Artisan products that they make by their own hand.  Vendors who source ingredients or components locally (Alberta) and directly from producers  

● Vendors of out-of-province agricultural products must only be 20% and 80% Alberta

● Vendors who do not have an existing storefront or retail agreements that require regular wholesale sales are prioritised before those that do

●  Vendors of out-of-province food or Artisan items are only considered if their products are considered essential to the market mix. Priority given to vendors that make the products or can demonstrate their personal involvement in the production of the products offered for sale

● Vendors of primarily or only “resale” items are generally NOT approved and may only be approved for attendance under special circumstances as determined by the market manager  

The Mahogany Farmers Market will be held from June 3 to September 23 (excluding July 1) every Wednesday from 3–7pm. The Market will operate rain or shine in the Mahogany Central Green
