Produce For August 12 And 16, 2025

We’re at the height of the season now and there is produce galore at the markets.

Just a friendly note that we prepare this list at the start of each week and some crops aren’t always as abundant as we expect by market time – or what we have sells out quickly. Apologies to customers who have come out for a particular vegetable to find we have none left. Also, some produce ripens rapidly and may be available at the market but not on our list that week. We are all volunteers tending a huge garden and we won’t always get it right.

Market Hours This Week

Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Location: For those of you who haven’t visited before, the Garden is located on the South Campus of the University of Alberta. Enter the University Farm from the east side off 60th Ave. Turn left at the T intersection (118th St) and you’ll see us just across the road from the old barn. On transit – we’re about a 15-minute walk from the South Campus LRT station. A map and further directions to the garden are available at: www.greengoldgarden.com/visit.

See you at the Garden!
