For a lot of Canadians, buying fruits, vegetables, and other groceries normally involves going to one of the bigger franchise supermarkets and buying products that come from factories all over the world.
But for the people who want something a little different, a little fresher, and a little more local, nothing beats putting more effort to into shop at a farmers’ market. Georgetown has a few markets for you to visit that offer quality products made locally. So, if you want to find something fresh that contributes to the local economy, check out these markets!
The Downtown Georgetown Farmers’ Market is both seasonal and only open on weekends, so this will require a bit of timing on your part. As it says in the name, if you’re looking for this one, head to downtown, specifically Main Street South on a Saturday morning, but only from June through October.
Of course, while the big draw here is the fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers in the immediate area like Atkinson Farms, there are other vendors to check out as well. The Pie Guyz from Brampton put in an appearance, as well as Tawse Winery from Vineland, and if you’re looking for spices and seasonings, Saha International from Toronto has plenty to spare.
If you want to go directly to the source, then maybe you’ll want to visit Allison’s Farm Market. These farmers have been in the business locally since 1967 when the family moved up from Mississauga to Georgetown.
Since then, they’ve carefully nurtured and harvested the expected fresh produce you’d want to find from local Canadian farmers, but they’ve expanded their wares. They’ve partnered with other small businesses around the region so that you can find jams and marmalades from Niagara-on-the-Lake or homemade pasta from Kitchener-Waterloo. They have their own venue on Eighth Line, where you can buy products from the farmers themselves.
