The farmers of the market, prioritize a sincere commitment to sustainable agriculture. This is essential to the health of the soil and the surrounding ecosystem. Also recognizing that accessibility is critical to the survival of any healthy food system, Dufferin Grove market supports community-led programs and initiatives that address barriers. Full market participation, regardless of one’s socio-economic status, is one of the market’s key goals. Our unique, year-round farmers’ market, provides a profound and positive experience, allowing for market-goers and vendors to engage with each other, while immersed in the richness of one of Toronto’s most beloved parks.

From the beginning, the market’s focus has been to foster direct connections between local organic farmers and urban eaters, through a welcoming weekly gathering. With well over 30 vendors during peak season, the market offers an exceptional selection of local produce, meats, dairy, fair-trade and wild options, as well as other farm products. City-based food producers further build upon our local farm connections by using local ingredients in their prepared foods.
