The Vegetorium

This great market provides fresh produce including most common vegetables and fruits.
They also have an ice cream stand which is popular with the kids.
A family run business they also have a freezer of free run meats and Heppy’s Pies (also local vendor).
I love the potatoes I get from here along with the Valley Spinach. Thanks to
I stock up as they are located in Fall River and I’m not out there that much.

I love this place. It is focused on local organic or pesticide free produce. They bring in seasonal products from a few farms in the Valley including some the owners (who are an awesome young family) produce themselves. They also bring in popular products not produced locally so you don’t have to go somewhere else for say, a lime or avocado. They have local, free range meats available, and it’s the BEST spot to get «happy chicken» free range eggs. They have a variety of organic grains, beans, oils, syrups etc., available as well. They carry sugar and coffee products from Just Us! and the Maritime line of organic grains and beans (and quinoa!) from Speerville Mill. If you live in Sackville, Fall River, Waverley or that general area, you SHOULD BE supporting this local business! Go check them out and see what they have you could use :)

I remember the beginnings of this great little shop as a temporary fruit and vegetable stand on the side of Fall River Road. The fruit arrived every morning — you knew it was fresh because there was no place to store anything.
Now it has found a home in a real building a couple of hundred metres from the traffic lights just off the highway — the lights weren’t there when this place started. So much has changed in Fall River — but this little place still serves up the best local farm produce.
It has the right feel to me with big farmers crates out front filled with melons, cabbage, apples, etc. It still feels like a farmers market as opposed to the multitude of former markets that have morphed into stores.
On the real side (not the down side) is that it is so connected to the local produce that when melon season is over — its over — no more mellons — which I miss — but I am getting distracted.
Fortunately The Vegetorium is now just entering the apple season so I have lots to look forward to from this little place by the side of the road.
