It’s almost time for the Sackville Farmers Market to move out of Bill Johnstone Park and on to its winter location. But this year the move is slightly delayed as the market board considers two potential locations — the Sackville Commons on Lorne Street, where the market has spent winters since 2021, and the Sackville Visitor Information Centre on Mallard Drive, outside of the market’s usual downtown territory.
“Every year we have to move from our summer home,” says Anthony Maddalena, owner of Bagtown Brewing and chair of the board with the Sackville Farmers Market. “This year we’re just exploring if there’s any other options… We’re getting information from both the Commons and the town and looking those two different sets of information.”
