. Agri-news. Agriculture. January 9, 1978 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR ALBERTA'S FARMERS' MARKETS. The young generation manning a craft stall at one of Alberta's farmers' markets Alberta's farmers' markets have a bright year ahead if 1977 is anything to go by. According to Dan Ness, Alberta Agriculture's farmers' market representative, last year's shoppers were delighted with the greatly increased selection of products they found at farmers' markets compared with previous years. Many markets, for example, had more than 28 varieties of vegetables from which their customers could choose, and the quality at most markets was top-notch. The choice of non-edible items was even greater. It included fur animals, macrame, polished gems, dolls dressed in national costumes, antiques, etc. So popular were these items and the edible produce that shoppers often lined up outside before the markets opened, and many stallholders reported that they were sold out within half an hour. Mr. Ness reports that seven new markets were opened last year, bringing the total to 53. He says that several more communities are planning to open markets this year. -(cont'd) Phone (403) 427-2127 /dlbcrra COMMUNICAT.
