Need to pick up your groceries for the week, but can’t bear the thought of navigating through a grocery store with all your winter gear and a sloppy, snowy, wet shopping cart? Sorauren Farmers’ Market is your opportunity to get fresh, local food without the hassles of the grocery store!

This year the Farmers’ Market is operating every week through the winter, so you can plan your meals around seasonal produce, available from farms that surround Toronto. Though the harvest isn’t as bountiful at this time of year, there is still plenty of selection: root vegetables make a warming stew, honey from local beekeepers is perfect for spreading on freshly baked bread, while meat choices range from grass-fed, naturally-raised beef to the more adventurous venison.

The Sorauren Farmers’ Market is hosted on Mondays at Sorauren Park (in the fieldhouse in the colder winter months) from 4 to 7pm.
