MAY 9th 10am - 2pm
The Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society (SGAS) is launching a new, exciting and diverse Farmer’s Market @ the Elevator!
Our market will celebrate local growers, makers, bakers, artisans, and entrepreneurs — creating a vibrant gathering place where community and agriculture meet. The Market @ the Elevator not only supports our local producers, it also generates income and expands our goal of community engagement.
From farm-fresh produce to handcrafted goods, we’re building something special right here at the Elevator.
If you believe in supporting local and building something meaningful for Spruce Grove, we’d love to hear from you.
Markets start May 2, 2026 - Vendors are encouraged to apply here!

The Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society is a non-profit organization.
Our Vision - The Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society connects our community to the heart of agriculture and its history.
Our Mission - The Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society provides facilities, programs and events that bring people together to celebrate agriculture's influence on the past, present and future of our community.
When the Alberta Wheat Pool company announced the demolition of the Grain Elevator in 1995, the Society stepped in, purchasing the 1958 Grain Elevator for $1, thereby preserving it as a lasting legacy of the Agricultural history of the area. Today it is a Provincial Historic Resource and a functioning museum, visited by several thousand visitors from all over.
4th Annual Agricultural Society's Day
We’re excited to share that the Spruce Grove & District Agricultural Society and our Board President, Teresa Bateman, were recently featured in a Government of Alberta video for Ag Societies Day.
The feature highlights the important role agricultural societies play in building strong, connected communities, while also showcasing the hard work and commitment we bring to our Society and to Agra Fair. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our incredible volunteers whose time, energy, and heart make everything we do come to life.
We’re proud to represent our region and continue “growing communities and sowing memories".
