Celebrate Local Food Week 2016: Visit a Farmers' Market

Published Date:

Local Food Week is celebrated across Ontario every year. This year, Local Food Week takes place between June 6 and 12. Farmers’ markets are a great way for visitors to get a true flavour of any area, and lucky for us, our whole area is covered by markets! 

Grey County markets boast a wide variety of year-round local products including baked goods, seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs and cheese, sweeteners and prepared foods. In June, look for locally-grown asparagus, rhubarb and spring greens plus wild harvested foods like fiddleheads and mushrooms to get a true taste of the season. Many of our markets also include crafts, live music, product demos and children's activities.  Here’s a list of market dates and times to help you find the one most convenient for you:

  • Clarksburg – Wednesdays 3pm to 6pm 
  • Dundalk – Fridays 3pm to 7pm 
  • Flesherton – Saturdays 8am to 1pm

Upland hardwood forest and conifer plantations cover rugged terrain and provides many scenic views of the surrounding landscape. Wide trails on rolling terrain with some sandy areas. Due to recent ATV activity these trails have become somewhat eroded and much underlying coarse rock has been turned up resulting in difficult sections.

This busy trail system caters to a variety of users including hikers and equestrians. Moderately technical singletrack through rolling mixed forest with some sandy areas and some good technical descents.

Looping trails featuring both single track and wide track trails. The trail tread is mainly sand and grass with some rocky sections and drains very quickly. The trails traverse moderate to steep rolling hills among hardwood and pine plantation forests and are ideal for an afternoon of riding.
