A Passion for Freshness The Case for Farmers’ Markets The “eat and buy local” movements have taken Ontario by storm, and there are farmers’ markets dotted across the province to prove it. Farmers’ markets are an integral aspect of local food distribution and strengthen food systems and practices by supporting the health and well-being of communities as well as being connected to their economical, ethical and social systems. In many locales, farmers’ markets have started to collaborate by establishing synergy, sharing operational knowledge, best practices, vendors and community initiatives. They perform a significant role in our local economic development by facilitating a location for small business incubation while generating an economic multiplier effect — increasing the returns arising from the redistribution of new spending and consumer consumption within the community. Most important, farmers’ markets allow you to meet the growers and taste the best locally-sourced fruit and vegetables, meat, eggs and artisanal products such as hand-crafted breads, honey, local cheeses, preserves, cider, maple syrup and fermented foods. What a great way to savour the terroir and talents of a community! 90
