With a community that has grown increasingly devoted to shopping local from the incredible range of crafters, growers, makers, bakers and farmers here in Halifax, the local food scene is growing by the season.
If you’re looking to experience the Halifax region like a local, finding the closest farmers’ market is a fantastic place to start.
Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. Historically, a land acknowledgment is a traditional practice shared amongst Indigenous groups to recognize the Indigenous land and territory they are visiting. Today a land acknowledgement remains a way to express one’s gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of the land that we live and work on.
