Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market

It's not as large as expected, but there are still a lot of people. It's very considerate. There is a parking lot next to it. However, when there are many people every Saturday, I'm afraid there will be not enough parking spaces.

I adore this farmers market. I make sure to visit every time I’m in the area. Truly such a great place and vibe. So many vendors of all varieties and truly kind people throughout.

Some places accept credit or e transfer but a majority will usually take cash. A majority of food will be $3+ with pastries usually around the $5+ mark. You'll find some crazy food and trinkets here such as an oreo pizza slice, mushroom and brie croissant, caramel pecan cinnamon roll, etc. If you're from the westcoast, they have a donair sandwich to try which is only seen on the eastcoast (same with garlic fingers). Parking lot gets full really quickly and is cramped, I would suggest street parking which will be free since its a saturdat

Engage with local artisans showcasing their wares, sample fresh produce, honey, and baked goods... And ALWAYS head for the coffee corner where Fredericton roaster, Whitney"s, serves up fresh brew and a conversation corner. Be sure to greet a neighbour!

I really love going to this market, it’s a staple of Saturday’s mornings/before noon! They have everything from farm produce to actual pizza made in a fire oven and more! It’s the best market so far in my life and was the first! Fredericton was my place when I was a toddler because of some stuff happened in my life and now as an adult, I still love going to Fredericton because of its proximity for stores and restaurants! The inside may need some renovations like Led lights and the parking lots is always full there on Saturdays! I recommend this place! ☺️

7am market opens. 7am parking only 3 blocks away. Understand that farmers may need to park close to refill stock, but no need for trucks with empty trailers taking Prime parking away from potential shoppers. Called the market got the ole fashion customer service "I'm so sorry but vendors have to park there. Nothing I can do." I worked in a different farmers market for our family farm. Every vender taking up a prime parking spot or two hurts the whole market. Expect hard to find parking by 10am easy but at 7am should be in and out like a bunny. I won't be giving this market another chance.

I love this market. It really is the quintessential farmer's market. It's grown slightly over the years and remains the best place in town to get local goods each weekend. They have a new restaurant serving breakfast now for the first time in I don't know how many years. I believe Chef Rick got his own spot. This new one, Ready To Eat, was very different. Less comfort food diner style and more of gourmand style. This definitely caters to either the upscale older person or the younger hipster crowd as the prices are a bit higher due to the focus on quality, local and unique combinations of ingredients. The flavours on the Breakfast Burger were vibrant and unexpected. The char on the burger patty paired nicely with the very sweet bacon jam. The only thing I would say is that I would have liked to see a few more smaller options for breakfast as I'm not usually the type to eat a lot in the morning. That said, the market has plenty of grab and go snacks and baked goods along with about a half a dozen food trucks.

Was staying at Hilton Gardens, market is pleasant unhurried 10 min walk. Arrived about 11:30, it closes at 1:00. An indoor venue with a large exterior area, fair amount of parking. Usual collection of hot food vendors outside, eclectic mix inside. Only 1 place selling local fish, several local farms selling eggs, meat, sausage etc. Lots of craft tables. A couple of seating areas for you to rest your feet and have a snack. 2 or 3 vendors of orange juice based smoothie style drinks (might be same vendor with multiple stalls) 1 large area for fresh produce. Noticed some very nice leeks and bags of freshly picked beans. 1 large stall selling cheeses of the world, 1 small stall selling local made cheese. A knife sharpening stall, coffee and lots of bakeries. Prices are in line with artisan products, which is to say higher than a Walmart, but not out of line for a market. If I was a local I'd certainly be checking out the fresh produce and meat on a regular basis. As a tourist there were some interesting items but I'm a bit old for souvenirs and brick a brac. I did see a couple of art ideas I'd like to give a try though.

One of Fredericton's best assets, plenty of produce, local goods, and hot food. Try the dried French sausage.

So, when I was a student at UNB a long time ago, I used to go to the Boyce Farmer's Market. It was really fun. I think it was only there on Saturday or Sunday morning, I forget which one. It was really cool though, as some of the students from the Craft College would sell their pottery or other things at the market. I remember them having fresh orange juice too, and in the summer there would be vendors outside as well. It was probably one of the best things about Fredericton, and because it was available only once a week, there was an incredible vibe. I haven't been to Fredericton in years, but if the market is anything like it used to be, then it's really worth visiting.

Loved it loved it! Not too big and not too small. food crafts spices, really interesting place and we saw tons. what a great little niche for a town. We walked around for a couple hours but of course couldn't get away without buying some samosas!!! There were farmers markets and anything you could want. will definitely re visit upon our return.

This has to be one of the most awesome markets that I've ever been. Its not too big but big enough with plenty of selection. Tried the German sausage and some freshly squeezed orange juice and couldn't hold back how good it was. Definitely a spot to check out while in Fredericton

Saturday is market day! No Saturday in Fredericton is complete without a visit to the Happy Baker and then the market. This year was the first time we went during the high summer season. We usually visit New Brunswick in November, so it was fun to join the crowd when there are far more outdoor vendors. The ever-popular samosa vendors have been moved outside to make more room for the long long line of people waiting to get their samosa-on. Lots of artisans, and fresh vegetables. Indoor high-lights for us include the seafood vendor, the cheese store, and the wood crafters who make nice oyster shuckers. See you again next year!

Lovely memories of the Fredericton farmers market from my childhood. In particular: the warm cider and, most of all, the samosas. Had a chance to go back recently for the first time in a decade and I'm pleased to report that this venue is still as wonderful as I remember it. Looking forward to my next visit someday.

I attended this market last weekend during my trip to NB. It is quite small compared to the market that I am used to in Nova Scotia, but it seemed to be quite popular. Finding parking was a nightmare, we ended up parking on a random side street and walking up. There are a lot of food/drink type vendors inside, a long with a breakfast spot. I did not buy anything, but a few vendors were tempting. Outside also contains a lot of vendors, mostly the fruit/veg/plant stands. The deals seemed good and I would have bought a few items for dinner that day if it hadn't already been prepared. There are many options to grab a bite to eat outside, from hot dogs, gyros, donuts, pizza, etc. My brother and I opted for the $10 lobster roll because the lobster was being done in plain view. It came on a hotdog bun, with celery mixed in. It seemed small at first but there was so much lobster stuffed in it, it was quite delicious. I also got a freshly squeezed lemonade from another stand which was also delicious. I wanted to get a samosa because I remember them being really good but the line was 50+ people long. The other samosa booth beside it had two people in line, but I took that as a hint that those samosa's would not be that good. My only disappointment is that the market is only open until 1pm - it would probably still do really well if it was opened a bit later until 3pm. Definitely a stop to make if you are visiting the Fredericton area on a Saturday.

I can't believe more people don't write about this market have been to many many market this is one of the top 5 in my book

Excellent place. You can get fresh produce (many of it organic), meat, dairy, crafts, eggs, local artists, crafts, bakery, coffee, local made wine; if you need it you can get it at the Boyce Farmers Market. There are outdoor vendors that sell a variety of food, such as samosas or donairs. It is open from 0600 - 1300 on Saturdays year round. Very popular place on Saturday morning. If you visit Fredericton or even live here, you have to go to the farmers market.

it is a fun way to spend a saturday morning. get an espresso at Whitneys or some good java from the people in the main section selling artisan coffee, grab some samosas or get some cheese from Mulder's, bread from Hans, beef, chicken, rabbit or any assortment of vegetables. i buy my eggs there, cheese and sometimes get a" cheesecake on a stick". If you are a people person and like to be social while soaking up the atmosphere of buying local fresh produce & crafts, then this is a place. you can get in and get out of there quickly if you wish. MOst people spend an hour or so there , meeting up with friends. the phrase " I'll meet you at the Market on Saturday " is often heard in conversations throughout the week. no further explanation is necessary.
