Our Cape Breton Farmers Market is located inside the lobby of the Cape Breton Exhibition main building. The market features everything you’d expect from a local hub for small businesses: Food, Art, Crafts, Meat, Produce, and Jewelry. Stop in and see us!
The Cape Breton Farmers Market (CBFM) aims to facilitate economic growth and sustainability for local food and craft producers encouraging more people to live, work and grow in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality. The Cape Breton Farmers Market is a not-for-profit co-operative that has been in operation for almost thirty years.
The Cape Breton Farmers Market evolved from an outdoor seasonal market to Nova Scotia’s only year-round indoor farmers’ market outside of Halifax. We attract more than a thousand visitors weekly from all over Cape Breton Island. The CBFM is the largest market of its kind servicing producers and customers in Cape Breton. We are home to approximately 20 full-time vendors including some casual and seasonal vendors. Our market hosts meat, egg and produce farmers, food and beverage producers, cooks, bakers, herbalists, apiarists, jewelers, wood-workers, and various other artisans and crafters.
The Cape Breton Farmers Market promotes, supports, and enhances the development of the local food and artisan industry, while promoting sustainability, healthy eating, and community.
Your Cape Breton Farmers Market isn’t just a venue showcasing the best in local produce, services and crafts, it’s a starting point for many small businesses in Cape Breton. Many entrepreneurs have opened brick and mortar locations throughout Cape Breton after beginning with a low-cost table right here!

We understand going forward after our big move to our new location; we are going to need the support of our community. Therefore, a number of fundraising programs are being established to help us complete our renovations and sustain a vibrant downtown farmers' market.
Our "Buy a Block Campaign" will be an on-going program, which will give everyone a chance to leave a legacy on our wall. Blocks displaying the name of the contributor will be permanently attached to a wall at our market. This wall will become a focal point at the market where visitors will be able to appreciate those who contributed in making a difference.
Each block is hand crafted from wood and beautifully pre-painted. Each block comes with a metal plaque engraved by a local company, Colbourne’s Sports and Trophies, Sydney, NS.
** Please note: The phrase ‘In Memory Of’ or ‘In Honor Of’ may be used as part of a line. We welcome businesses, schools and professional organizations. However, logos, slogans and taglines cannot be engraved on the plaque.
Why not ‘Buy a Block’ in memory of a loved one; to honor someone or to mark a special occasion.
