There's never been a better time to embrace local, community-driven food solutions. Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are fortunate to be surrounded by hundreds of Ontario farms, offering fresh, high-quality produce all year round. Whether you're looking for seasonal ingredients or year-round staples, Ontario-grown goods make it easy to enjoy fresh, sustainable meals.

From vibrant seasonal markets to beloved year-round options, these markets not only support local farmers but also offer a wide range of fresh produce, artisanal products, and prepared foods.

Here’s our curated list of the best local farmers markets in Toronto and the GTA, where you can find fresh, Ontario-grown food for your table.
