The Saskatoon Farmers' Market is a public Farmers' market housed in a former electrical warehouse and garage in the Riversdale, district of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The building was renovated and a outdoor market plaza created as part of the River Landing redevelopment.[1] The market and Ideas Inc. (a business incubator) moved into it's current building in May 2007.[2] The building was originally associated with the Saskatoon Light & Power A. H.

The market is a cooperative owned by the market vendors. The building itself is owned by the city.[3]
