2025 Farmers Market Schedule

Let's start with a quick summary of what 2025 looks like for us. We are doing our best to ensure we are showing up regularly in markets across the GTA where you are looking for us. It makes the year so much more fun to see everyone.

Summer (June-August): This is peak market season with weekly presence at Underpass Park Farmers' Market (Toronto), we'll be at Lakeview (Mississauga) twice a month, monthly we'll be at Leslieville Farmers Market and at the festival dates at the Bradford Farmers Market, regular attendance outdoors at the Allan Gardens farmers market, and we'll be poppping up at Sorauren markets. Special events include Barrie Hills Farm Strawberry and Corn Festivals..

Fall (Sept-Nov): As the seasons change, we'll continue to be at Underpass Park and Bradford Farmers Markets, with participation in seasonal festivals like Barrie Hills Harvest Festival and Wellesley Apple Butter & Cheese Festival.

Holiday Season (Nov-Dec): This is when things get fun with holiday markets such as Sugar Plum Fair (Alliston), Connon Nurseries Maker's Market (Newmarket), and Mississauga Festival of Trees, among others.

Winter 2026 "plan" (Jan-May): Here's how we hope it pans out. Select Saturdays, we at Allan Gardens Market (Toronto), back at Connon Winter Market (Newmarket/King), adding occasional Sundays at Leslieville Farmers' Market indoors (Toronto), and popping up at Sorauren Farmers' Markets in Toronto. Special events include the Barrie Women's Show, Gluten-Free Goodness & Barrie Spring Garden & Home Show
