If you’re like us, you want to eat food that’s fresh, tasty, and grown right here in Saskatchewan. But figuring out where to find that local goodness can be a little tricky. There’s farmers markets, farms, Facebook groups, websites… it’s a lot!
So, we put together this simple guide to help you find real, local food no matter where you live in the province. Whether you’re hunting for fresh veggies, pasture-raised meat, homemade bread, or something special, here’s how to get started.
Farmers Markets Are Still the Go-To Spot
Farmers markets are a classic for a reason. When the weather’s nice, you’ll find markets popping up in towns big and small across Saskatchewan. It’s a great way to meet the people who grow your food, ask questions, and pick up everything from berries to eggs to homemade jams. A lot of markets have more than food as well – find plenty of local and handmade products from talented local artists.
Tip: Check out the market’s social media pages too -they often post what vendors are bringing each week.
Buying Direct from the Farm
A lot of farms now sell food right from their property, or even deliver straight to your door. This is a fantastic way to get fresh meat, eggs, and veggies, and know exactly where your food comes from.
Sometimes you’ll need to order ahead or meet a minimum order, but the connection to the farm and the freshness make it worth it.
Use Online Local Food Directories
If you want to skip the guesswork, you’re in the right place! Our site puts local farms and food producers all in one place. You can search by product, location, or delivery options – and find exactly what you’re looking for.
We built Farm to Fork SK to help people find local food easily, without hunting through scattered Facebook posts or word of mouth.
Check Out Facebook Groups and Social Media
A lot of local producers and food lovers connect through Facebook groups like Sask Farm to Fork. These groups can be a great place to find fresh meat, veggies, baking, and other homegrown products shared by local farmers and small businesses.
If you’re already part of that community, feel free to share Farm to Fork SK with others who might find it useful. And if you’re a producer yourself, we’d love to have you listed on the site. You can submit a listing request directly through our website.
While social media is great for staying up to date on what’s available, our directory is built to help people discover producers across the province in one easy place.
Note: Sask Farm to Fork Facebook group is not affiliated with us and run/managed by a group of admins.
Ask Around – Word of Mouth Works Wonders
Sometimes the best finds come from a quick chat with friends, neighbours, or even your local coffee shop barista. People love to share their favourite local sources, and you might discover some hidden gems that aren’t online.
Eat With the Seasons
One of the best things about eating local is enjoying food when it’s at its freshest and tastiest – right in season. Saskatchewan’s growing season is shorter, so learning what’s in season month by month can help you plan meals that taste amazing and support local farmers.
Keep an eye out for seasonal boxes or bundles from farms – they’re a great way to try a variety of fresh foods.
Why Buying Local Matters
Choosing local food is about more than just taste. When you support local producers, you’re:
- Keeping money in your community
- Reducing the environmental footprint of your food
- Helping build a stronger, more resilient food system
- Enjoying food that’s fresher and often healthier
Every local purchase is a small step toward a better food future for Saskatchewan.
