Your Ultimate Guide to Toronto’s Local Farmers’ Markets

Looking to discover fresh, seasonal food and support our local producers around Toronto? Here’s your ultimate guide to finding and enjoying local farmers’ markets near you, inspired by the City of Toronto’s official listings. 

Why Explore Toronto Farmers’ Markets?

  1. Support Ontario growers and artisans – Many vendors are actual farmers selling their own goods. According to community feedback, Trinity Bellwoods, Dufferin Grove, Sorauren, and Brickworks markets are particularly known for that direct farm-to-table experience.

  2. Fresh, seasonal produce – Get what's now in season and locally harvested. It’s healthy and delicious.

  3. Community connection – Markets are vibrant places to meet growers, share stories, and enjoy your neighbourhood. In many of the markets nowadays you can find local musicians putting on a fun performance, kids face painting and even tarot readers (if you are into that!).
