Walker’s, a family-owned business based in Edmonton, has been providing the best produce from British Columbia since 1981. With a guiding principle of quality and value, Walker’s has become an integral part of the farmers market community, bringing unique offerings to the Edmonton area.
The Walker family has a long history in the farming industry, dating back to Jim Walker's ranching days in British Columbia's lower mainland in the 1960s. After transitioning from ranch-life to orchard-life, Jim began selling his fresh BC fruit at Calgary's farmers markets. Finding great demand for his premium product, Jim expanded his operations to Edmonton, where his cousin Joyce Goodwin operated the Old Strathcona farmers market.
In the summer of 1993, Sharon, a dedicated staff member, brought her 8-year-old son Chris to work at the St. Albert stand, where he quickly became Jim's right-hand man. After many summers of selling fruit, Chris and his cousin Travis, both red seal journeyman carpenters, went on to become the proud owners of Walker Orchards in 2021.
Chris and Travis bring a hardworking mentality and an appreciation for aesthetics and doing things right. They are proud to be Edmonton's only locally owned BC fruit company, and they are committed to bringing the best produce from British Columbia to the Edmonton area. With over 40 years of experience, Walker’s has established a reputation for excellence in the farmers market community.
As a family business, Walker's is committed to serving their customers with the same level of care and attention that they would provide to their own family. They are passionate about delivering the freshest and highest quality produce available, and they take great pride in the relationships they have built with their customers over the years.
At Walker's, customers can expect a unique offering of fresh, locally grown fruits from British Columbia. They can also expect exceptional customer service from a family-owned business that truly cares about their customers. With Walker's, customers can trust that they are getting the very best produce from a business that has been serving the Edmonton area with pride and passion for over 40 years.
