Congratulations to the Niagara Falls Farmers’ Market, chosen as the 2021 Market of the Year by Farmers’ Markets Ontario®
MARKET OF THE YEAR FOR 2021 NIAGARA FALLS FARMERS’ MARKET
For more than 100 years, this historical market has been offering its region the best of locally grown produce, farm fresh meats, baked goods, handmade artisanal products and more. Today, about 1,800 people per week visit the market, which Market Manager Janet Zylstra said welcomed 30,000 people in the 2021 season. “We have a little bit of everything and most of our farmers are within 30 minutes of the market,” Zylstra said. According to Zylstra, forging community partnerships has always been a priority for the Niagara Falls Farmers’ Market. It is something that she says, sets the market apart.
