The best farmer's markets in Toronto bring a riot of colourful produce, plus a host of other temptations, to locations around the city. From seasonal markets to ones that operate year-round, these are the places to head to stock up on the finest local fare.
Here are the best farmer's markets in Toronto.
Seasonal produce is just one of the draws to this year-round market, open on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the new Dufferin Grove Clubhouse. Beyond an abundance of organic goods, the market is also the place to find breads and cheeses, sweets, meats and other local goodies.
Saturdays are vastly improved with a visit to this year-round market at Evergreen Brick Works. The city's largest, it's populated by a vast array of Ontario food producers, entrepreneurs and chefs. Visit the local food court for momos, crepes and more, then explore from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Rain or shine, locals devote their Saturdays to strolling through this market in Withrow Park. Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., they can be found cramming totes with kimchi and seasonal produce, condiments and trinkets, while they fill their bellies with gooey grilled cheese sandwiches, samosas and juicy popsicles in a riot of fruity flavours.
For more than 30 years, locals have relied on this market for a taste of the country in the heart of downtown. Every Wednesday between June and October, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., vendors hoist a cornucopia of hyper-fresh produce, handmade jams and sauces, drinks and pastries to 100 Queen Street West.
