The Northeast Alberta Food Marketers Association in conjunction with Community Futures and funding from the Province of Alberta and the Government of Canada has created an online Food Marketplace so that all food producers and retailers have an opportunity to sell their products online with minimal investment.
Q: What is the Alberta Food Marketplace?

The project provides each vendor with their own shop and aggregates all products into a marketplace. The website is able to handle all commercial transactions and manage product shipping and delivery.
Q: How much does it cost to join Alberta Food Marketplace?
A: The cost for a 1-year membership to The Alberta Food Marketplace is $75 plus any credit card related transaction fees.
Q: Who can join the Alberta Food Marketplace?
A: Anyone who is looking to sell food or beverage related products can join, no matter the size of your operation.
Q: How does joining Alberta Food Marketplace benefit my business?
A: At Alberta Food Marketplace, a team of professionals is working behind the scenes to help vendors develop a strong online identity. Additional services like targeted advertising, ongoing website maintenance, help with tech-related issues, as well as promoting your business on social media are just part of the package.
Q: What if I join and decide that Alberta Food Marketplace is not for me ?
A: Our goal is to help vendors. Should you decide to withdraw from the service you will only be charged for the months used without any further obligations.
