. Agri-news. Agriculture. June 27, 1977 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALBERTA'S FARMERS MARKETS. Vie farmers market sign that is becoming a common sight on Alberta highways. It means there is a farmer's market in the nearby community. Have you seen a highway sign depicting a farm girl with a hoe? Have you wonder- ed what it means? It means there is a farmers' market in the vicinity. Alberta Transportation has installed these signs along provincial highways to help motorists find the farmers markets that are located throughout the province. The sign was adapt- ed from Alberta Agriculture's farmers' market program insignia. This program was initiated in 1974 to boost the province's $ million a year market garden industry, and to encourage the development of farmers' markets. The latter provide a direct link between vegetable and small fruit growers and the consumer. The chairman of Alberta Agriculture's Farmers' Market Committee, Dan Ness, re- ports the province now has 50 farmers' markets compared with only four in 1973. Six of these 50 markets are new this year. They are located at Fort Edmonton (Edmonton) Seba Beach, Evansburg, Okotoks, Crossfield and Hardisty. (cont'd! /dlberra.
