Share Hello! I’m a plant based chef and nutritionist and I’m just reading about all the other functions of the market besides the farmers market. I’m looking for space to do workshops and classes and sell product occasionally. I’ve emailed the farmers market a few times but no response. Could you point me in the right direction ? Thanks so much!

Thanks for your question Ashley. The City of St. John's has signed a lease agreement with the St. John's Farmers' Market who will operate the Community Market and therefore be responsible for managing the community and workshop space. I am providing a link to their website here for contact information. They are currently working on the grand opening of the market to take place on July 21st.
