MyMarket’s district supervisor Diana Gonzalez walks viewers through Toronto’s very first Winter Farmers Market. A farmers market is a fun-filled event usually enjoyed throughout the warmer seasons. At this event, local farmers provide farm-grown food available for consumers to sample as well as purchase.
Toronto’s very first Winter Farmers Market took place at the Steam Whistle Brewery across from the city’s iconic CN Tower. All sorts of people from the community piled in to support locally grown foods as well as local farmers. It was also convenient for those grabbing a casual beer at the brewery to stop by and browse the wide variety of naturally grown foods and products.
The Winter Farmers Market was a definite success and something the people of Toronto can plan on seeing annually.
