North Market

One of the oldest farmers market in Canada. Lots of history here. Love the architecture and interior space. However when I visited in October 2021, there were only a few vegetable vendors. Mostly vendors selling arts and crafts. I assume it is due to the pandemic, and business has been slower than usual and it is the end of the growing season.

Quite an interesting market to visit. There were a lot of vendors. This was our first time, and one can only assume pre Coronavirus this place would have been packed. There's a lot of vendors here, ranging from food, to clothes and everything in between. One of the few places I've seen with some British treats in Saint John for anyone from overseas craving a little taste of home.

This is a must if you visit Saint John, this City Market is a modest sized venue where you can find some fresh and excellent quality products. Shops I remember as a tourist with only a few visits are: section with Jarritos (Mexican pop), meat and fish that seem fresh and deliciousl. Or maybe you just want to go look for a delicious but simple breakfast spot: Slocum & Ferris. If you are not interested in food, there are two things that will make it worth your visit: - Fiddling Ferns stall, with really super cool designs from the local artist studio printed on tea towels, napkins, t-shirts, greeting cards, etc. - The Butcher's Daughter, a shop next to North entrance, with some really amazing hand made pottery artifacts ranging from the typical mugs and yarn holders to earrings, trays for appetizers and tea sets.
