Welcome to THE STAND MARKET & EVENTS Kleefeld Farmers' Market 

June 29 July 27 August 24 

SATURDAYS 9-2PM

📍9 Main St S, Kleefeld, MB

BRINGING Community together! Where we started in 2020 as The Kleefeld Farmers' Market!

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to be located wherever community thrives. We believe strongly in order to create more abundance we need to stretch out further. Therefore we will be setting up THE STAND in a variety of communities this year! You will want to be at as many as you can be!

We are a year round community. We believe shopping locally is a way of life, not just a trend. From an economic, eco-friendly and strong community foundation, shopping local goods and hiring excellent local services is key to living joyfilled lives. 

OUR PLEASURE

THIS is where you come to shop your regular items you need(and want) for your family, friends, home and business.

Skip the big box stores and truly shop LOCAL! Meet up with your friends and enjoy a coffee while you get everything for the next couple week's groceries. 

A great time span for a Saturday market. Lots of time to still get out camping or have people over, perhaps hit up other summer activities that happen in our beautiful province after the market.

We are RAIN or SHINE! 

All fees are NON REFUNDABLE.

  • Spots are 10*10 spaces if you require a larger space you may apply for a second spot.
    It is your space to set up your shop for the day. The better you display your products and interact with customers the more success you will experience. GO ALL IN!

  • Vendors are responsible for their complete setups and take downs. Including tents, tables & chairs. HOWEVER...WE OFFER TENT & TABLE RENTALS! They are limited and also get booked up quickly.

  • The safety and protection of your products and personhood along with the other vendors' is important therefore tents MUST be weighted down to protect from winds which could cause damage. If a tent is found not to be properly weighed down you may be required to take it down for the day.

  • Be prepared for any type of weather that can shift throughout the day as well. Ability to protect your products and displays from wind or rain or locusts. This includes your wardrobe(think cool mornings, hot sunny afternoons or any sort of mic in between)
