PEI Farmers Markets & Local Food: A Summer Guide

From Charlottetown's waterfront market to community stalls across the Island — where to find fresh produce, baked goods, and makers worth supporting.

Summer on Prince Edward Island means farmers markets in full swing. The Charlottetown Farmers' Market is the flagship — open year-round with peak energy from June through October — but don't overlook markets in Summerside, Kensington, and smaller communities where growers sell berries, flowers, bread, and prepared meals steps from the field.

Arrive early for the best selection, bring cash for smaller vendors, and ask what's in season. Many producers also supply local restaurants listed in our directory — so the connection between market table and dining room is closer than you might think.

Planning a road trip? Pair a market stop with a north shore beach day or a visit to a nearby café from our community listings. Supporting Island food producers is one of the easiest ways to shop local.
