Halifax Farmers Market 

Billed as North America's oldest farmers market, it is held on Lower Water Street in the historic Keith's brewery building. If you are in town on a Saturday morning you owe it to yourself to come down for a visit. Here you'll find fresh organic produce, local crafts, cheeses, bread, wine, buskers and plenty of friendly people. It tends to get quite crowded after about 10:00 a.m. so plan on coming early and grab a coffee from Steve O'Renos and a mouth watering cinnamon roll from Mary's Bread Basket. It doesn't get much better than that.
