It’s summer and there is nothing better than visiting a local farmers’ market. There is just something about seeing all the fresh produce, cheese, meats etc., available, it inspires us to make healthy choices and to shop local. We are so fortunate in the 905 area to have so many close by to choose from. Check out the list below for a market near you — or visit one in a neighbouring city. Enjoy!
