Here’s a little history on them:
We are a neighbourhood based market, established in 2007, one of the Toronto Farmers Market Network (tfmn.ca) of organic or sustainable vendors, primarily farmers. You will find local seasonal food here, from baby greens in May to bushels of tomatoes in September. You’ll also find honey, bread, cheese, fish and meats, grains, jams, syrup, wildcrafted foods, mushrooms, and lots of friendly gossip year round. We often feature local music and an area for kids to play and network. We are a natural growth component of the Artscape Wychwood project, where a neighbourhood managed to save a 4 acre site and 4 of the 5 buildings on it from being demolished to instead create a diverse park. The Green Barn is one of the buildings on the site transformed into a geothermally heated/cooled hub of environmentally aware food activism for the neighbourhood and the city.
