A park-based market with a genuinely community-driven ethos — Dufferin Grove runs Thursday afternoons with 15-20 vendors, many of whom are small-scale organic farms that don't sell at larger markets. The market emphasizes sustainability, local food systems, and community engagement. The park setting (with a wood-fired community oven) means you can bake, eat, and socialize while shopping.

Why visit Dufferin Grove Farmers' Market
The wood-fired community oven is the hidden gem — you can buy dough and bake your own bread in it. The small-scale vendors here sell products you won't find at larger markets. The park has a playground and wading pool, making this family-friendly. The sourdough and preserves are exceptional.
