The Market
May to October, it’s a regular Saturday Farmers’ Market with operating hours of 9am - 1pm.
November and December the Clover Valley Farmers’ Market becomes a local foods and craft store running multiple days a week.
The Clover Valley Farmers’ Market Food Box Programme was created to provide an easy way for consumers to purchase a variety of healthy, locally grown products, and to provide an outlet for local producers to receive a fair price for their products.
Who should order a Food Box?
- For anyone wanting to eat healthier
- For those who find it difficult to get enough fruits & vegetables in their diet or to grocery shop
- For people trying to stick to a monthly budget
Whatever the reason — give it a try! By purchasing a Food Box, you will be supporting local farmers and keeping money in your community.
How do I place an order?
All you have to do is place your order in the community where you live (see Distribution Areas) and it will be delivered a couple of weeks later. It’s that simple!
What will the Food Box include?
The Farmers’ Market Food Box will contain as much local produce as possible. The types of foods will change each month to offer variety. Besides in-season fruits and vegetables, the Food Box could include other local items such as eggs, flour, baking, etc.
What sizes of boxes are available?
There are two sizes of boxes available
- $25 for a family of four; and,
- $15 for smaller families and seniors (same value, smaller quantities)
