Wolfville: Stirling Farm Market

On the outskirts of Wolfville, Stirling Farm Market is a local gem that blends fresh farm produce with Maritime-made convenience—all in a cozy, welcoming setting. It’s one of those places that locals know and newcomers quickly come to love.

What sets Stirling apart? It’s part of a family-owned chain of markets with deep roots in the Maritimes. With several locations across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Stirling has built a reputation for quality, community, and supporting local producers—values that fit perfectly with the Annapolis Valley way of life.

Inside the market, you’ll find shelves lined with in-season produce—much of it grown right on their farms—alongside preserves, fresh baking, take-home meals, and a wide range of local products. It’s the kind of place where you go in for carrots and come out with a pie, some jam, and dinner for the night.

And for pizza lovers? Stirling is a hidden hotspot. Their freezer section carries the Maritime cult classic—frozen Sam’s pizza from Pictou County with the iconic brown sauce. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to this Nova Scotian delicacy, it’s a must-try.

Their take-home meals and soups are perfect for busy nights, and their famous cinnamon buns are worth the stop alone. Add in some local gifts, honey, and pantry staples, and it’s easy to see why Stirling Farm Market is a go-to destination for both weekend drives and weekly shopping.

And of course they have an ice cream counter!

If you’re house hunting in or around Wolfville, Stirling is one of those small perks that makes life in the Annapolis Valley feel just right—fresh food, local flavour, and a warm community feel.
