Toronto farmers' markets let us stock our fridges and pantries with fresh produce and locally made foodstuffs from vendors based in and around the GTA. While some markets run all year, most pop up for the warmer months.
Now that it finally feels spring-like in the city, it's time to get excited to start shopping outside once again. There's a different farmers' market on each and every day of the week and they all offer something a little bit different.
Of course, you can always check out perennial favourites, such as the St. Lawrence Market or the the market at the Evergreen Brick Works, or go market hopping and visit a neighbourhood you've never explored before.
