Fresh Finds in Frosty Times: Year-Round Farmers & Fresh Food Markets.

Join our webinar to learn tips from top year-round farmers and Fresh food market operators—discover tips, stories, and fresh ideas!

Year-round farmers’ markets and fresh food markets play a vital role in supporting Ontario producers, artisans, and food entrepreneurs across our city and region. By continuously bringing fresh food into local neighbourhoods, these markets help foster healthy communities even during the winter months. However, challenges such as inconsistent foot traffic, a 'hibernation mentality,' limited awareness of Ontario winter products, and difficult weather conditions can impact vendor sales, threaten market viability, and reduce the vibrancy of the market experience.

Join our webinar series to meet top winter market operators! Discover insider tips and creative ideas to energize our city's winter farmers’ and fresh food market scene.
