Downtown Farmers' Market

Buy fresh, local food in downtown Windsor!

Windsor's Downtown Residents' Association is excited to announce the grand opening of the Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market!

With the help of the City of Windsor and the DWBIA, the Market Committee of the Downtown Residents' Association has organized a Farmer's Market for each Saturday from July 4 through to Oct. 10.

Shoppers will be able to purchase fresh produce from well-known Essex County growers as well as several interesting new local producers.

The market is located in the parking lot of the old Greyhound bus station, at 40 University Avenue East, Windsor, Ontario. Click here for map.

The market committee is committed to maintaining the Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market as a non-profit venture. Any fees charged to vendors will be used solely to cover operating costs.

Motivation

"Let's showcase the foods produced by local farmers. Let's add colour, plants, music, artisans and artists, a flea market, and culinary delights. Let's provide an opportunity to enjoy the bounty of the county, convert the old bus terminal from a negative to a positive and have fun doing it."
