Gluten-Free at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market

In growing up in Fredericton, New Brunswich, I have come to love Saturday mornings spent at a farmers market. I was extremely glad to have moved to a city that had the same Saturday morning farmers market.

The Halifax Seaport Market has expanded from the Keith's brewery labyrinth, to its own home on the waterfront. With the move came the change in times of operation as well. It is now open more days of the week. Still, Saturday remains the day where all the stall vendors are there and you are bound to see a variety of people tightly packed awaiting their food.

The Halifax Seaport Market alas provides a great selection of gluten-free staples for any diet.

Since working Saturday - Wednesday, I unfortunately do not get to be a frequent visitor of the market.

Last Saturday I took the day off of work to enjoy both Open City and the bountiful supplies of the market made available during the weekend.

My staples when visiting the market are below. I highly suggest taking a gander when at the market as they have a variety of stalls to suit your every need.

Java Blend
Roasted in the North End of Halifax, the roaster has a stall in the market on the second floor serving the delicious  and freshly roasted beans. They're locate on the second floor on the North side of the building.


Bramoso Pizza
You can pick up delicious gluten-free pizzas to go. They are made in a gluten-free environment to eliminate cross-contamination worries. I haven't bought, nor investigated their slices to go for fear of gluten. If you don't have a gluten allergy, I do hear that the Breakfast Pizza is fantastic from my boyfriend. He can't seem to get enough of that pizza. They are located on the second floor beside Java Blend.

El Gallo Mexican Foods
They have delicious tamales! They have Pico de Gaillo and other mexican favorites to purchase to go as well. I love their homemade tortilla chips. They are found on the second floor, near Java Blend.


Schoolhouse Bakery
From breads to brownies, Schoolhouse Bakery has it all. Their food is wonderful! My favorites are the brownies, ginger snaps and the cinnamon raison bread. The cinnamon raisen bread makes fantastic french toast! They're located on the first floor near the stairwell to Java Blend.

See a theme? Java Blend is one of my most frequented shops in Halifax. Why I love Java Blend is a post for a different day.

Happy market exploring!
