2 Greek Gals was established in 1997. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, while on chemotherapy and radiation a friend and I decided to cook Greek Food and sell it at farmers markets, Christmas markets, catering, etc. We managed to do a couple of markets and my 6 months of chemo and radiation finally finished. Sad, but my friend no longer wanted to do it. I always had a passion for cooking and baking so I decided to continue. I was invited to join a market for the summer, before I knew it I was doing 4 markets a week. In 2002, The Calgary Farmers Market was born and 2 Greek Gals turned into a family business. Here we are today with a profitable business. I’ve always said, “Have passion for what you do,” and “Cook with your heart and you shall succeed.”

Calgary Heritage Roasting Company is built by the wilderness that drives it. We meticulously marry fresh and bold coffee with the urge to explore. The company found its inspiration over a percolated cup of coffee on a backpacking trip one morning in the rolling hills of Alberta, Canada. Our methods and values were forged from our experiences as wildland firefighters. Since then, the company's foundation continues to grow and evolve during backyard BBQs, weekend mountain adventures, cold ones with friends and late nights under star-filled skies. Like our beans, the love grew naturally. Through experimentation and time we learned more about the art of coffee roasting.  We knew we had something special. CHRC is the home-grown, outback, rugged, mountain-fresh, clear skies sort of thing that Alberta is all about.  It's here our story truly begins. Calgary Heritage Roasting Company believes in active collaboration, giving back to the community, and getting back to nature. It’s about time your coffee tasted as wild as you are. Stay Wild!

The Cherry Pit began in 1995 with two small tables at the Canmore Farmer's Market.

We have created a cold press juice line called Better Fresh by using all our locally fresh produce. Our Vegetable butchers are making farm fresh salads and easy to use fresh cut meal kits to make our lives easier. We take Eat Better Live Better seriously to make our lives BETTER...

Chinook Honey Company & Chinook Arch Meadery - A hobby that became a passion and then a business, Chinook Honey Company was founded in 2004.

For a full retail experience we also sell beeswax candles, honey body care and apitherapy products as well as other items related to bees or honey.

Gull Valley Greenhouses is a family-owned and operated greenhouse just south of Gull Lake in Central Alberta, run by Phil, Carolyn, Levi and Carmen Tiemstra. Before the greenhouse, Phil was following in his father’s footsteps by raising chickens, but said he needed something more challenging. Gull Valley Greenhouses was started by Phil and Carolyn in 1991 and was just under half an acre in size. Over the years, the business has continued to succeed and today houses four acres of greenhouse space – the latest acre being equipped with LED lights to accommodate year-round growing. In those early days Gull Valley Greenhouses started out growing beef steak tomatoes, but the Tiemstras continue to diversify, now offering about a dozen different types of high-quality tomatoes. Offering fresh, locally grown and sustainable produce has been a passion of the family since day one – a principle that has carried throughout the business to the present day. For the Tiemstras, they take pride in their operation, and it’s rewarding for them to know that people are enjoying a high-quality, nutrient-filled, tasteful product. Gull Valley Greenhouse’s produce can be found at the Gull Valley Growers booth at the Calgary Farmer’s Market.
