We were in Banff on a Wednesday and I heard about the Farmer's Market. I came here by myself as…read morethe rest of my group (all three of them) headed back to the [Rimrock] hotel. I just had to take a walk around as I am not a regualr in Banff. Besides all the regular vendors you would expect to see at a Farmer's market they had plenty of fresh fruits / vegetables, lots of food products, and plenty of cooked foods for snacks and meals. There is plenty artwork, both paint and photographs and other artistic creations. This is a very typical farmer's market. The market is located right next to the park and the Bow River - the location is perfect for picnicking and relaxing. You can easily buy some lunch, listen to the live music and and just enjoy the wonderful city of Banff. Some interesting items here like the Elk sausage and various meat / vegetable pies. This is clearly a fun place to be and I am certainly glad that I made the stop here.

Absolutely worth to check out! And it is mostly local beacause of people who have enough guts to start their own business, that alone is a good reason to support them! It's open Wednesdays from 3-7pm, a few Saturdays as well. You can stop by after work, get good groceries AND have dinner there while listening to some live music. There is homemade food available, authentic indian food and pizza. Lots of seating and you get entertained by live music. What else do you want? Right, dessert! Guess what, they have it as well. Bring napkins because your mouth waters just by looking and these yummy sweet creations.

Each section is so beautifully and thoughtfully done! The website says: Welcome to Granary Road. The founders of Granary Road are local Calgarians with kids just like you. 2 years ago we struck out to build a wonderful destination for the whole family. Granary Road is a rich life experience for everyone. Mom, Dad and Grandparents can sip coffee from the Bakery while musing over fresh organic produce in the public Market or nibble on something delicious from the Bistro while the kids explore the adventures of an Active Learning Park the likes of which Alberta, and maybe North America, has never seen before. There's so much to do... ...in a place that has found the perfect blend of nostalgic ambiance and thrilling fun. We've thought of something for everyone: * The Market at Granary Road is a friendly, upscale market that is charismatic and eclectic with first class vendors from 30+ different product categories including our fresh produce vendor who grows vegetables in our on-site green house just steps from where they are sold. Granary Road is set in an intimate, newly constructed wood clad building that replicates the charm of a traditional granary and echoes the pastoral beauty of the rolling foothills that surround it. Closely modeled after a Sonoma Valley winery, the Granary Road market features brilliant natural light and spectacular views. * The Bistro, Bakery and Bar at Granary Road are the flagship centerpiece of the market offering market and park goers a broad range of delicious baked goods, casual dining and refreshing wine, beer or cocktails. * The Active Learning Park at Granary Road is filled with acres of imaginative, energetic learning experiences for kids of all ages. Giant animatronic frogs, bats and spiders greet visitors as they walk 3 kilometers of trails connecting 11 different educational and heart-pounding fun exhibits. Each stop is based on an animal, insect or agricultural theme with an interactive learning component and an exciting activity like a 16' foot web climber that has a giant wolf spider at the top or a 4-story bigger than life ant farm with an obstacle course in the tunnels or an echolocation bat maze where kids navigate using sound plus many other great experiences. Your family will want to come back again and again!

I have no idea how much we spent but there must have been 30 samples and I tasted about 20 items, haha!!! We bought hot pepperoni, honey garlic and a bundnerfleisch. I've no idea how to say it but I have a pic of it. There's various package sizes of the assorted meats with a great variety of cheese too. We bought yellow curry and sampled so many things! The vendors are extremely friendly and we really liked the lady who sells wood items that's been burnt and etched with 10,000 volts. Totally visit her kiosk!!! Next up, the dip station. We sampled crab dip, bacon dip and red pepper hummus. Bought the bacon dip. The retro candy kiosk was really neat...we ended up with 5 dif chocolate bars. We also bought 2 soup mixes and then met the hand pie lady. OMG... her pastry is 100% butter based so it's crunchy not super flaky. If you like a dense, crunchy crust - go here! Boys had the Aussie beef pie for dinner and I had a lamb pie. I can't rave enough about it. Served it with celery and carrots sticks with the bacon dip - Sunday dinner in a pinch! After the vendors, we headed outside for a free hayride pulled by a tractor. The greenhouse has a petting zoo, with sheep, rabbits, an alpaca photo booth and a bunch of games. Overall, we had a great time and can't wait to return. Those meat pies beat simple Simon pies hands down with substantial portions. Next time I'll try a fruit pie. There's a ton of other cool vendors but you really should check it out for yourself!
