Our region – the northeast Highlands of Cape Breton Island – is a mountainous, rocky one, with harsh weather and many, although small, pockets of arable land. One of the primary goals of the Cape North Farmer’s Market is to bring about a resurgence in growing, selling, and eating local food. The fresh produce, fish, maple syrup, honey, preserves, and baked goods at the market may be limited in quantity but they are unsurpassed in quality, and our vendors are the friendliest you’ll find anywhere!
Come and support the first farmer’s market “north of Smokey”, on the Cabot Trail at the top of Cape Breton Island.
