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 
  • Hanover - Fridays from 12pm to 4pm
  • Keady – Tuesdays from 7am to 1pm: open year ‘round with the 100% Farmers’ Market Area from May 19th to October 13th.
