HISTORY OF THE MILTON FARMERS’ MARKET

The market has found its home in several locations since its inception in 1972, starting from the Town Hall parking lot to the Carriage Square (former Sunoco Service Station) parking lot, and currently situated on Main Street. We relocated to Main Street in June 1990 and have cherished the downtown atmosphere since then, except for 2020-2022 when we temporarily moved to Country Heritage Park and the Milton Fairgrounds due to the pandemic. Our vendors work in cooperation with downtown merchants, collectively responsible for attracting thousands of shoppers every year.

The Milton Farmers’ Market is one of the few Ontario Farmers’ Markets where the street is closed off, allowing pedestrians to freely stroll and visit local vendors and businesses. It fosters a sense of community and serves as a gathering spot for friends, family, and neighbors. Community members can purchase fresh produce from local farmers, contributing to the support of their local community.
