2021 season. Several farmers’ markets in
the eastern Ontario region are now inviting
farmers and food artisans to join their
markets for the 2021 season, which typically
runs from May to October.

farmers’ markets in Cornwall and the

is the Cornwall Waterfront Farmers’ Market

for the June to October season of 2021. The
Seaway Valley Growers have operated a
farmers’ market on Saturdays in the parking

The Cornwall Kinsmen Farmers’ Market
had a great year on Sundays in 2019, in the
parking lot of St-Lawrence College. They
did not operate a physical market in 2020

an online connection with local farmers.
