Toronto farmers’ markets
May 12, 2008
With the unofficial start of summer this coming long weekend, farmers’ markets across the city are setting up shop to bring fresh, local and seasonal food to your table - the next best thing to harvesting it yourself. Farmers’ markets provide easy access to seasonal, delicious, often organic and locally grown and raised produce and food products. Check out our comprehensive list of Toronto’s markets to find the one closest to you.
Need more convincing? Making a weekly stop at your neighbourhood market can help reduce your ecological footprint by reducing food miles and avoiding wasteful packaging and emissions. Most farmers markets are accessible by foot or bicycle, and purchasing food from local farmers supports the local economy. Bring cash, a cloth bag to cart home your goodies and a friend to share in the community spirit.
