Toronto farmers’ markets: choose the right market for your day

Match the market to your schedule and the food you want to bring home. These four choices cover Saturday and Sunday visits, indoor seasons, farm shopping and a longer outing.

The most useful Toronto farmers’ market is the one that fits your day, journey home and cooking plans. Choose St. Lawrence for a downtown Saturday with permanent market shopping nearby; The Stop at Wychwood Barns for a Saturday neighbourhood shop; Evergreen Brick Works for a more substantial outing; or Leslieville for a Sunday in the east end.

These are four operating markets with current information from their organisers, not a citywide ranking. Seasonal moves matter as much as opening times. Use the comparison first, then choose one market rather than spending your food budget and energy travelling between several.
