CA (AB): Look up farmers' markets on your mobile
“The new farmers’ market app for both Apple and Android devices launched at the end of March,” says Eileen Kotowich, farmers’ market specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Vermilion. “This app allows users to easily find markets in their area or around the province, and to search by day of the week or type of market. Visit www.sunnygirl.ca to download the mobile app or to view an interactive map of Alberta approved farmers’ markets.”
She says that a lot of markets in the summer will partner up with various group in their communities for special events. “You may know the market is always on a Tuesday, but maybe this week it’s also on a Friday due to special event. We add this information to the phone app to make sure it’s as up-to-date as possible.”
She adds there are already five new markets this year, in Plamondon, Irricana, Bashaw, Davisburg, and in downtown Camrose. “If you keep checking the app, you’ll find out where and when new markets are happening.”
