Farmers Markets 2022
Summer in Canada means getting outside and enjoying the warm weather with friends and family. Another iconic summer activity is going to all the Farmers Markets near and far! Being able to walk through the stalls and pick out the freshest and juiciest fruits and vegetables grown at nearby farms, gives us all the feeling of supporting local while taking a step towards a healthier lifestyle.
Main Street Markham
Unlike the traditional Farmers Markets which host local farmers with fresh produce, the Famers Market on Main Street Markham expands beyond fruits and vegetables to include products from local artisans and businesses. Be sure to plan a trip to the Main Street Markham Farmers Market to support local this summer!

19th Ave Farmers Market
Throughout the season, you will find a mix of 21 different types of fruits and 36 types of vegetables at the 19th Ave Farmers Market.
