BRAMPTON – The Brampton Farmers’ Market opens for the season on Saturday, June 20.

In its 29th year, the market is more than just fruits and veggies. There’s shortbread, wine, jams and spreads, baked goods, maple syrup and honey, to name just a few of the treats awaiting visitors to the downtown core every Saturday through Thanksgiving.

Described as one of the largest in the GTA, the market operates between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. and it offers fresh-from-the-farm produce, eats, unique food products and Art in the Open, where local artists display their creations.

The market brings approximately 100,000 visitors to the downtown during the 17 weeks it is open, and 93 per cent of them live in Brampton, according to the city.
