Find The Tisto Factory at Calgary's Best Summer Farmers Markets

When summer arrives in Calgary, farmers markets become the heartbeat of the city. From the rolling foothills of Bearspaw to the historic streets of Inglewood, the tree-lined avenues of Marda Loop, and the festival energy of Mission — these weekly community gatherings bring together the very best of what our local neighbourhoods have to offer.

At The Tisto Factory, Calgary farmers markets have always felt like home. There's something special about handing someone their very first pierogi with a smile — watching their face light up as they discover that Ukrainian dumplings can be striped, colourful, and made from 100% natural ingredients right here in Calgary, Alberta.

Why Calgary Summer Farmers Markets Are Worth Your Weekend

A Calgary farmers market in summer offers something a grocery store simply can't replicate. Whether you're in the Inglewood community, exploring Marda Loop, or heading out to the Bearspaw countryside — here's what makes these local markets so special:

• Fresh is fresher. Handcrafted and locally grown products go from maker to market to your table — no long supply chains, no weeks in a warehouse.

• You meet the people behind the products. At our booth, you're talking directly to the person who made your food. Ask us about our ingredients, our process, or just come for a sample.

• It's a genuine Calgary community experience. Markets like the ones in Inglewood, Mission, and Marda Loop bring thousands of Calgary residents together — creating neighbourhood connections that last well beyond the season.

• Seasonal variety. Summer means local produce, fresh flavours, and in our case — seasonal pierogi specials you won't find anywhere else in Calgary.

• Every dollar stays in Calgary. Shopping at a Calgary farmers market supports small businesses and keeps money circulating within our city's neighbourhoods and local economy.

  
  

Supporting Calgary's Local Food Producers — One Market at a Time

Calgary has a remarkable food community. From small-batch preserves in Forest Lawn to artisan cheeses from the Foothills and handmade pastas in Bridgeland — the local producers you'll find at Calgary farmers markets are genuinely passionate about what they make. When you buy from a local vendor, you're investing in someone's livelihood, their craft, and the economic health of our city's neighbourhoods.

At The Tisto Factory, every pierogi is handcrafted in Calgary using natural ingredients. We use vegetable-based dyes to create our signature striped look — no artificial colours, no preservatives, no shortcuts. When you pick up a box at a Calgary farmers market, you're getting something made with real intention and genuine local pride.

Supporting local Calgary producers also means supporting more sustainable practices. Many vendors at Calgary's community markets prioritize minimal packaging, local ingredient sourcing, and low-waste production — values we share and stand behind at The Tisto Factory.
