Area farmers”™ markets open

It’s that time of year again, when Minto residents and those passing through have the opportunity to purchase fresh, local, real food that is grown or made right in Minto.

The Harriston Farmers’ Market opened June 7 at its new location, the former Harriston Train Station, and runs Fridays from 3 to 6pm. The Palmerston Farmers’ Market returned June 8 to the picturesque Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum on Saturdays from 9am to noon.

Both markets feature locally-grown or produced products, including fresh produce (organic and traditional), home baking, plants, maple syrup, honey, preserves, unique artisan products and more.

The season opening at both Markets featured several special activities: an amazing performance by Matthew and the Birds, ticket launch for this year’s Savour the Flavours event, a Farmers’ Market “photo booth,” and free sample cookies prepared by market vendors and free lemonade for market patrons.
