Ambleside Artisan Farmer’s Market

The East Gwillimbury Farmers Market is a vibrant community hub taking place every Thursday from May 18 to October 5, 2023. Located at the Civic Centre at 19000 Leslie Street in Sharon, the market operates from 2 to 7 p.m., come rain or shine. This delightful farmers market serves as an excellent opportunity to support local businesses while enjoying a wide array of products such as fresh vegetables, meats, cheeses, baked goods, honey, artisanal soaps, and many other exciting finds. It’s important to note that some vendors may be cash-only.

The market isn’t only about shopping; it also offers a chance to engage with the community through weekly entertainment, live music, children’s activities, and special events. Mark your calendar for themed date events like the Celebration of the Arts on July 6, Kids Week on July 27, Little Farm Friends on August 31, and the Final Market Date on October 5. Local entertainers are encouraged to participate and showcase their talent.

Vendor offerings change weekly, promising something new for each visit, with a diverse group ranging from local craftspeople to food artisans. Those interested in which vendors will be attending a specific market are invited to send an email for up-to-date information.

Kids can join the Farmer Friends Club catered to ages 4 to 12, offering exclusive activities, learning experiences, and the opportunity to use tokens for purchases. For individuals seeking to volunteer or provide feedback, the market welcomes engagement to improve the Market experience.

For those looking to become vendors, applications are accepted and reviewed starting March 1, with applications officially closing on July 27, partway through the market season.

The East Gwillimbury Farmers Market is more than just a place to buy fresh produce; it is a festive, family-friendly event that enriches the local community, fosters social connections, and celebrates the creative and agricultural spirit of the region.
