Farmers markets are wonderful places to shop. For what is usually just a few minutes out of your way you can support your local Ontario farmers, eat healthy and learn to cook with great ingredients.
My personal favorite markets are St. Lawrence Farmers Market and the Square One Farmers Market.
Even though the standard market season has come to a close it does not mean that we should forget how valuable these resources are during the spring, summer and fall.
The website http://www.farmersmarketsontario.com/ lists 142 member farmers markets in southern Ontario. They even list the procedure to start your own farmers market.
The only complaint I have with the site is it does not list any farmers markets in peel region.

About This Project
Connect Farm is a project created by Teacher Candidates at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. The goal of this project is to bring attention to the importance of educating future generations about the economic, environmental and health benefits of supporting local farming initiatives. Through Connect Farm, we hope to share a multitude of ideas for making connections to local farming in the classroom with teachers and future teachers, providing them with tools to incorporate meaningful learning experiences about farming, food production, and agricultural policy into their teaching.
This blog contains resources, links, recipes, lesson plans and our personal reflections about our experiences in trying to eat local and promote buying local.
Connect Farm will culminate in a professional development seminar featuring a panel discussion with local experts in farming, food policy, creative education, nutrition and sustainability. This seminar will take place at OISE on December 8th and it will be followed by a communal potluck dinner featuring locally produced foods. We hope that you can join us! Details about the seminar can be found here.
This project is a joint effort created by: Davin Aldridge, Laura Bonfigli, Jaclyn Cepler, Emma Mattiacci, Leslie McBeth, Elana McMurty, Sandra Rodrigues and Joanna Simpson as part of a Social Action Project in Stephanie Springgay's School and Society Course for the B.Ed. program at OISE.
