Winter Farmers’ Market at Connon Nurseries

Waterdown, Ontario Vaughan - January 13th, 2023 - Last January, Christina and I ventured west to attend our first farmers’ market of the winter. As you could imagine, the market energy becomes a tad bit damped by the cold winter season post holidays, however, there are some markets that run January through April and provide the exact amount of market fulfillment that us Harvest Hunters need! We saw the ads for this winter farmers’ market on Instagram and could not say no. Unb

Erin Farmers’ Market

Erin, Ontario Vaughan - November 6th, 2022 - It was the last Friday of September in 2021, when Christina and I drove west through Brampton and north towards Erin on a Friday evening. The end goal of our journey was to visit Spirit Tree Cider, however, this next farmers’ market was in my sights for some time so the plan to drive in that direction on a Friday night anyways was perfect. As we drove into downtown Erin on Wellington Street we spotted the sign for Erin Farmers’ Mar

Woodbridge Village Farmers’ Market

Vaughan, Ontario Vaughan - September 30th, 2022 - You can count on the fact that since I started the Harvest Hunters, I have put some mileage on my car. So you know it was an absolute delight to discover that there is a farmers’ market just around the corner from my home in Woodbridge. All I have to do is drive down Islington and make a right into the Woodbridge Memorial Centre to enter the Woodbridge Farmers’ Market. I first visited this market (I know, crazy that I have nev

Pickering City Centre Farmers’ Market

Pickering, Ontario Vaughan - September 11th, 2022 - On a sunny Tuesday morning in July, I was venturing east of Toronto and decided that the trek merited a visit to a farm or market that I wouldn’t otherwise come across. With a quick Google search, I was delighted to see that there was a local farmers’ market that happened to be open for business! I turned right onto Valley Farm Road from Kingston Road, then left into the parking lot of the Delaney & O'Brien Arena where the P

Barrie Farmers' Market

Barrie Farmers' Market Barrie, Ontario Vaughan - September 6th, 2022 - On a gorgeous Saturday in mid-July, I made my way to Barrie to check out the Barrie Farmers’ Market. I know it's a bit of a drive from home, however, I absolutely LOVE Barrie and wanted to take the opportunity to explore the downtown area on a summer Saturday anyways. So this plan was great - and the actuality was even better. When I arrived in downtown Barrie, I parked on Worsley Street then walked down t

St. Catharines Farmers' Market

St. Catharines, Ontario Vaughan - July 12th, 2022 - On a Saturday morning on the last weekend of April, my mom and I were driving back from Buffalo, New York, after an overnight girls’ trip. The trip, of course, was dedicated to shopping - especially exciting for someone like my mom who hasn’t shopped much through the Covid era. However, we also took our time in Buffalo to try some new food, drink some nice wine, and veg at a lovely hotel! On the way home, we decided to take

Molly’s Market Farmers’ Market

King City, Ontario Vaughan - June 30th, 2022 - So first of all, if you have never been to Molly’s Market, please stop what you are doing and get in your car. The market is at the corner of King Road and Keele Street, so put the pedal to the metal, purchase her cookies and Nanaimo bars, eat them, then come back here. Then we can talk. Ready? Ok great. So on top of Molly’s Market being a real Authentic Agent (a marketplace that is true to quality, natural foods, sugar, spice an

City Market at Daley Plaza

Chicago, Illinois Vaughan - June 27th, 2022 - My partner and I traveled to Chicago on the last week of May, for a perfect four-day venture through the city’s many neighborhoods. On arrival Thursday morning, we took an Uber to our hotel located in The Loop. About a block away from the hotel, we passed Daley Plaza where there was a massive Farmers’ Market sign. My eyes lit up and my partner knew that the market would be our first stop on the day’s adventure. We got to the hotel

The Stop Farmers’ Market

Toronto, Ontario Vaughan - June 10th, 2022 - It was the first gorgeous Saturday of the year when I hopped into my car, scooped up Christina as I drove south, and made my way to the Hillcrest Village neighborhood in Toronto. The sun was shining, our moods were perfectly in sync with bright eyes, and we were excited to hit our first outdoor market of the season: The Stop Farmers’ Market. Sometimes interchanged with the name ‘Wychwood Barns Farmers’ Market’ (since The Stop is re

Downtown Georgetown Farmers’ Market

Georgetown, Ontario Vaughan - June 1st, 2022 - It was a Saturday in early October, and the market season was turning the corner to its last lap (sorry, I’ve been watching a lot of F1). There was one market on my list that I hadn’t yet visited, so I hopped in my car and traveled north west towards Georgetown. To be honest, until that day I had no idea where Georgetown was - but boy am I glad I do now. I arrived at the Georgetown Farmers Market and parked in a small lot down th

Bradford Farmers’ Market

Bradford, Ontario Vaughan - May 25th, 2022 - It was a sunny Saturday morning in September when I drove north on Highway 400. I had just moved into my new home in Vaughan days before, so this easy trip north was very much appreciated, and highly anticipated. It was about 9am when I arrived at the Bradford Farmers’ Market, and the parking lot was already quite busy. The market was set up in a portion of the parking lot of the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library - a gorgeou

Lakeview Farmers’ Market

Mississauga, Ontario Vaughan - May 18th, 2022 - It was a Sunday afternoon in September when I drove south on the Queensway from my (then) home in Etobicoke, towards Lakeshore Park in Mississauga. Amidst this very lovely park, every Sunday throughout the summer, was the Lakeview Farmers’ Market. Upon my arrival, the clouds were starting to roll in, but this didn’t deter me from my mission to check the market out. I parked in the designated spots right beside the market entranc

Withrow Park Farmers' Market

Toronto, Ontario Vaughan - May 13th, 2022 - A quick 9-minute drive from Evergreen Brickworks, I drove through one of my favourite spots in Toronto (the Don Parklands) towards Riverdale where I visited the Withrow Park Farmers’ Market. It was an absolutely gorgeous morning so I parked my car on a side street, not minding the short walk to the market. The market was situated amidst Withrow Park, and with the sun shining, music playing, and people everywhere sitting/eating/being

Evergreen's Saturday Farmers Market

Toronto, Ontario Vaughan - May 4th, 2022 - If you live in Toronto, you have definitely heard of Evergreen Brickworks. Maybe because I live in the burbs, but I had no idea of the breadth and depth of activations and events that come out of this place - including Evergreen's Saturday Farmers' Market! As soon as I started Harvest Hunters, however, I learned about the market and added it to the top of my list. And boy am I ever happy I did. It was a gorgeous Saturday morning in S

Sherway Farmers’ Market

Etobicoke, Ontario Vaughan - April 10th, 2022 - When I was living in Etobicoke last year, visiting the Sherway Farmers’ Market was EXCEPTIONALLY easy. Available on both Tuesdays and Saturdays, and about a 4-minute drive from home, I visited several mornings to purchase my weekly produce. The first time I visited, however, was on a Tuesday morning in July. Upon my arrival, I was surprised to see only one long tent set up in the parking lot of the Church on the Queensway. The t

Brampton Farmers' Market

Brampton, Ontario Toronto - April 5th, 2022 - It was a gorgeous Saturday morning in September when I was extremely hungover, staring out the window and kicking myself for not getting up early and embracing the day. About 45 minutes into groaning and self-pity, I decided that the only way to turn the day around was to make my way to the Brampton Farmers’ Market as planned. Luckily, only a quick drive from Etobicoke, I arrived at Brampton City Hall around noon. I was shocked by

Junction Farmers Market

Toronto, Ontario Vaughan - March 24th, 2022 - It was a Saturday morning in August when my boyfriend and I were heading to Queen Street West for a morning coffee / stroll. On our way from Etobicoke, we made a pitstop in the Junction to visit a market that has been on my list for quite some time (because I can’t go one Saturday without visiting a market, obviously). We traveled east on Dundas Street (Dundas in the Junction is one of my FAVOURITE stretches in Toronto), then sout

Underpass Farmers’ Market

Toronto, Ontario Toronto - October 29, 2021 - Since the start of the Harvest Hunters, I’ve been looking for a market that breaks the boundaries of the traditional farmers market. In Toronto specifically, I have been looking for one that is trendy and cool, yet offers a selection of products that you would see at a larger market. And in this, God gave us the Underpass Farmers’ Market. This market is AWESOMELY located below the underpass on Bayview Avenue every Thursday through

East York Farmers’ Market

Toronto, Ontario Toronto - October 25, 2021 - Growing up on the west end of the suburbs and practically living within those coordinates my whole life, traveling east has always been an adventure. From visiting ‘Greek Town’ on the Danforth with my family when I was young, to travelling 2.5 hours east to my university town of Kingston, Ontario. Needless to say, I have a sort of affinity for the east end as it always brings me the warm and fuzzies. That’s why I was exceptionally

Kitchener, Ontario Toronto - October 19, 2021 - On a gorgeous Saturday morning in August, I brought a special guest along with me to visit one of my favourite farmers markets. This market has been a family tradition in my family since I can remember - so who better to bring along than one of my cousins! This was her first time visiting the market, so I couldn’t have been more excited to act as tour guide and show her around. Because trust me, visiting this market for the firs
