- Farmers' Markets in Eastern Ontario
Farmers' Markets are springing up all over Eastern
Ontario. It seems that every large city and small town has one. They provide a place to purchase in season fresh produce, cooked
foods, and home made products. As well
they are places where you can meet your friends and talk to friendly vendors who produce the products.
Most in Eastern Ontario open early in May and finish on Thanksgiving.
There are the small ones
with as little as 3 vendors which are attended once a week
usually on Sundays or Saturdays. Larger ones with 60+ vendors like the Ottawa Byward
market is open all the days of a week.
Farmers' Markets
not only serve as an outlet where one can buy locally fresh produce,
exotic meats, fruit and home made
products. They also seem to be the outlet of choice for persons wishing to try
to sell new products without investing in expensive leases for store
retail space.
Every market is different. They are interesting places, some with music, hot
food, and
entertainment for the customers and others just with vendors bringing
their unitque produce and products.
