Complete guide to the Evergreen Brick Works Saturday Farmers' Market in Toronto — what to buy, when to go, how to get there, and what makes this ravine market unique.
Evergreen Brick Works is a restored heritage industrial site in the Don Valley ravine — former brickworks that supplied much of Toronto's early architecture, converted into an environmental and community centre. The site hosts the year-round Saturday Farmers' Market, a seasonal Sunday market, events, skating in winter, and walking trails into the Don Valley. It's one of Toronto's most distinctive locations.
The Saturday Farmers' Market runs year-round, every Saturday from 8am to 1pm. The Sunday market is seasonal (spring through fall, typically May–October), running 10am to 3pm. The Saturday market operates even in winter, moving indoors into the heritage buildings.
The best option on market days is the free shuttle bus from Broadview subway station (Bloor–Danforth Line), which runs Saturday and Sunday mornings during market season. By bike, follow the Bayview extension south from Bloor then take the Don Valley trail into the ravine. There is parking on site but it fills quickly on Saturday mornings.
Yes — the Saturday Farmers' Market moves indoors into the heritage buildings in winter and continues year-round. In winter the market has fewer vendors but still offers fresh bread, Ontario preserves, storage produce, and artisan food. The ravine setting with snow is genuinely beautiful. Evergreen also offers winter skating on the site in January and February.
