The Saskatoon Farmers Market Co-operative Ltd. plans to focus on finding a new location, perhaps even a seasonal outdoor spot.

Market president Adi Ramachandran confirmed Friday the co-operative of local food producers will likely stay in its Riversdale location until the end of the year.

After that, the City of Saskatoon announced Thursday that the city-owned building will close for three months while repairs are made to the leaky roof.

Ramachandran said the farmers’ market has not completely ruled out a return to its current location, but he noted the co-operative has already submitted two lease proposals to the city.

“I don’t think the farmers’ market has an appetite for a third time,” Ramachandran said. “I never say never, but our focus is on finding a new home.”

Ramachandran acknowledged the co-operative had submitted one of two proposals the city received to continue to lease the former electrical garage on 19th Street.
