The Dauphin Farmer's Market opens today. It's located just across from the Dauphin Active Living Centre and will run every Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. until September 28th. They sell many products, including produce, baked goods, jams, jellies, maple syrup and even hypoallergenic body-care products.
According to Joyce Huska, coordinator of the Farmer’s Market, the main focus of the market is to provide a service for the community while promoting local and homemade products.
"I think it's something that serves us well in the community... For so many people that maybe ... are no longer able to [garden], it serves a purpose for them. They still get a chance to have some fresh food," Huska said.
She also wants to remind people to bring their own bags, since they won't be providing any.
