The Leslieville Farmers' Market is a vibrant and thriving community gathering that has been serving the Leslieville neighbourhood since 2011. It all began at Jonathan Ashbridge Park in Toronto, but in 2021 due to construction, the market was forced to move to Greenwood Park. This change in location proved to be a blessing, as the new location has allowed the market to flourish and grow. Today, the market features over 55 vendors each week, offering a diverse selection of fresh produce, delicious bites, handcrafted goods, and unique finds. In addition to the food, visitors can enjoy live music, kids' programs, and the market's famous annual Night Market. The Leslieville Farmers' Market is also proud to have partnered with the Neighborhood Food Hub located just a short distance away at the Glen Rhodes Campus. This partnership has given the market the opportunity to host events all year round and strengthen its commitment to supporting local food and community.
