Grocery

... our Grocery department began with long-time favourite’s, locally-made honey, Summerland Sweets syrup and jams. Since then, our grocery department has grown steadily and immensely, complimenting what we are known for, fresh quality produce. Dianne, Ralph’s sister manages this part of our market. Over the years, our customers would ask Dianne to get in their favourite products and our grocery department has grown ever since then.

Now we are proud to offer grocery delivery and pickup online at meridianfarmmarket.ca

Sourcing local and Canadian products is a priority in our selections at our market. We love working with local brands such as Nora’s Plant Based Ice Cream, Spread ‘Em, Wendel’s True Foods, Tuscan Farms, True North Popcorn, Avalon Dairy, Fresh Is Best and so much more. We love local vendors for a number of reasons. We are supporting our local economy; many are made in small batches giving that homemade taste and feel and each vendor gives its own unique flare!
