Mother’s Market – Edmonton’s Newest Indoor Market

Mother’s Market – Edmonton’s Newest Indoor Market

By | | Comments 1 comment

Mother’s Market is the latest brainchild of Strawman Bison Farm:

“To continue the growth of Mother’s Market as Edmonton’s pre-eminent Farmers’ Market providing Edmonton residents and visitors with the opportunity to purchase their food directly from farmers and to enable people to come together to celebrate fresh food and understand the direct paddock-to-plate food journey.”

There are 130 stalls in this two floor market.  It is located in the old “Mother’s Music” building at 10251 109 Street in downtown Edmonton.  There are many different vendors to choose from and the opportunity to buy food directly from the farmers themselves.

The market is open Fridays from 10am to 7pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Native Delights

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Native Delights

During my trip to the newly opened Mother’s Market (post to follow) I came across Ian Gladue and his shiny new concession stall for Native Delights.  Technically this is “not” a food truck, but Native Delights does have mobile carts that you will see in and around the city sharing his love of food.  They are now in their second year.

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Street Eats

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Street Eats

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Here is another “Truck that Cares”.  Street Eats is one of the trucks that you will see at Eden’s Market on 124. This is a Farmer’s Market that supports YESS. They aren’t a regular, but I hope to see them back again!

Street Eats is one of the trucks that will take the leftover items at the end of the day and will hand them out to the less fortunate.  They are hoping to have a collection tin soon to be able to help local charities.

Street Eats started their Edmonton Food Truck journey last year. It is a family run business that specializes in “Comfort Food just like Mom used to make but with a gourmet touch”. This is indeed a great description.

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Casa 12 Doce

#FoodTruckFriday Feature – Casa 12 Doce

By | | Comments 0 Comment

As many of my readers know, I am a huge supporter of the Edmonton Food Truck scene.  I decided to do something different this season and feature a different truck weekly.  Here is truck #2!

I wasn’t able to catch them last season as they were not downtown.  Casa 12 Doce is based out of Sherwood Park and now in their second season.

Carlos Farrill is the Chef behind the Foodtruck.  He hails from Mexico and has been all around the world cooking.  He decided to call Canada home.

While on a search for great Mexican food in the Edmonton area, he found things that were close, but not like his family used to make it.  This is where the Food Truck was born.  If Carlos couldn’t find it, then neither could anyone else.  “If you make it, they will come”.  Casa 12 Doce was born.

If you have had the chance to partake of the Casa 12 Doce menu, you will have had a very lovely lady explain the food and take your order.  That was Janette.  She is the other half of Casa 12 Doce.

I was lucky enough to have caught Casa 12 Doce at the Stantec Employee Appreciation event.  It is a food truck extravaganza! There were six trucks to choose from.

Eden’s Market for YESS is Back!

Eden’s Market for YESS is Back!

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Eden’s Market/Jaime’s Corner is a farmer’s market project that started last year.  This is the only market in Edmonton that supports a charity.  All of the stall rental fees go to YESS (Youth Empowerment and Support Services).  Eden’s runs every Sunday from 11am to 4pm and they are located on trendy 124 Street and 106 Avenue.

Eden's Market
Please note – the hours have changed from 11am to 4pm.

Eden’s is a small market with a big heart.  They have a nice selection of vendors, a couple of food trucks, and an area to sit and enjoy food. They also have a face painting area so you can keep the kids occupied while you are shopping.

124 Street Grand Market – Sense of Community

124 Street Grand Market – Sense of Community

By | | Comments 0 Comment

124 Street Grand Market is now in it’s third year. Located on 124 Street and 108 avenue, it has a different feel from any other Farmer’s Market that I have attended in the past.

Kirsta Franke, the Market Director, has brought together a unique atmosphere and a sense of community. There is always a DJ or live music, food vendors, craft vendors and food trucks. The market runs rain or shine from 4pm to 8pm every Thursday until October 9th.

I like to pop by the market for a lot of different things and hope to make it a habit this year.  124 Street is full of restaurants and great shops.  The business association already has a sense of community and Kirsta has managed to carry on this spirit to to the market.  I always recognize a face or two every time I attend.

For my food truck followers, you always have Cookie Love which brings their handcrafted cookie ice-cream sandwiches to the market.  They will usually greet you at the entrance of the market.  Don’t wait to get your dessert first, there is only so many cookies to go around and you might miss out if you don’t pick one up right away. (I have done this a couple of times.)

There are always a handful of food trucks to choose from.  At the Grand Opening they had Drift, Little Village, Orbit, Sailin’ On and The Fruit Truck.

#FoodTruckFriday – Knosh Catering

#FoodTruckFriday – Knosh Catering

By | | Comments 8 comments

Knosh Catering came onto the Edmonton Food Truck Scene in 2013. I was fortunate enough to be able to try their fare at Eden’s Market on 124.

Anyone that supports Eden’s Market has a special place in my heart; Eden’s Market is run to support YESS (Youth Empowerment and Support Services).  Many wonderful vendors and the family members come together to put on this extra-special Farmer’s Market.  I digress…

Stuart Parry is the man behind Knosh Catering.  He grew up in Leeds England and has always had a passion for food. He has been in the food service industry for the last 25 years.  Two years ago Stuart decided to take his passion to the street and purchased the food truck and catering company. He called the company “Knosh” which is an old British slang for “Let’s go Eat”. With the Food Truck it has given him the opportunity to take his love of British cuisine to the streets. Using traditional recipes with a bit of a twist, they make and bake everything fresh the day it is sold.

When I received the invitation to attend the Food Bloggers Cook-off, I was excited and intimidated at the same time.  Excited for the opportunity to spend time with Chef Jost and intimidated by his prestigious reputation.  Chef has been with the Fairmont group of hotels for over 15 years and trained in Strasbourg, France.  His cuisine is phenomenal.

The Mac sent out a tweet with a copy of this picture attached:
