The North Oshwa Farmers’ Market is proud to present our First Annual Corn Roast Event!
Be sure to join us on September 11th for a fun filled day. We’ll have free corn (donated by Fisher Farms) as well as kids activities, contests and prizes!
We are proud to announce our partner for the event will be Feed the Need Durham who will be present to spread the word about their important mission of “responding to hunger” in Durham. Be sure to buy a raffle ticket for our great gift basket (courtesy of our market vendors) as all funds collected will be donated to Feed the Need. For more information about Feed the Need please be sure to visit their site at www.ftndurham.ca
Well, it was another rainy saturday at the market, but that did not deter another large crowd from coming out to enjoy some of the offerings from our new vendors! We were glad to welcome beekeeper Ian Critchell as well as Cozy Cafe and Bakery into the mix! Watch out for more vendors in the coming weeks and don’t forget about our regulars Bruni and Sons, Farmhouse Cider, Svetec Farms just to name a few…
Check out our vendor list above, or better yet: come by next week to meet everyone in person!
We are pleased to share with you that over 300 people visited the North Oshawa Farmers’ Market at our Grand Opening on June 12.
North Oshawa Farmers' Market Opening Day
“There was great excitement in the air. I was greeted by people who had lived in the area since 1975 who were thrilled to finally be able to attend a local farmers’ market. There were also many young families, students and seniors all enjoying the outdoor market, fresh local produce and friendly greetings from everyone.” said Kirk Lowe, president and founder of the North Oshawa Farmers’ Market.
12 vendors shared over 200 feet of fresh and homemade food. We’re expecting to introduce up to 4 more new vendors as early as June 19th.
“Not even cloudy skies and overcast weather could dampen the spirit and excitement of our new market. Everyone was delighted with the entire day and we look forward to growing the market into something very special for the community.” said Market Manager, Bridget Williams.
We invite you to share the excitement of our ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by April Cullen who was instrumental in helping the market get off the ground. Ontario Motor Sales and other sponsors were also in attendance. Again, we thank all of our sponsors for their support and critical funding to get us started.
