ABOUT 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.
