One of the oldest summer pastimes in Muskoka is visiting the farmers’ market. Picking up fresh fruit, vegetables and local products to bring back to the cottage to share with family and friends has long been part of the Muskoka culture. The Gravenhurst Farmers’ Market has become one of Muskoka’s most popular attractions, welcoming 80,000 people a year.
The Gravenhurst Farmers’ Market runs every Wednesday at the Muskoka Wharf Special Events Field. The 2017 dates for the market are May 17, 2017 until October 25, 2017, 9am to 2pm. Voted the best seasonal Farmers’ Market in Ontario, every Wednesday visitors and locals flock to the Muskoka Wharf to bring home fresh produce, local farm gate products, and locally produced goodies.
Local maple syrup from Mark’s Muskoka Maple, local honey from Muskoka Honey Bee, sweet treats from Yummies in a Jar, fresh smoked trout from the Milford Bay Trout Farm, and seasonal fruits and vegetables from across Ontario are just a few of the products you can take home on a weekly basis.
The farmers’ market always changes with the seasons. During the summer months, shoppers are treated to fresh Ontario strawberries, blueberries, peaches, beans and other summer harvests. As the season changes to Fall, market go-ers can bring home the fall harvest with apples, cranberries, squash, pumpkins and more.
