Evergreen Brick Works Saturday Farmers Market

“Best city-wide Saturday shop: 8 a.m. open, 205 km vendor radius, outdoors under the pavilions until October then indoors for winter.”

— Very Toronto Editors

Evergreen’s Saturday Farmers Market is still Toronto’s biggest year-round farmers market: 550 Bayview Avenue, in the old Don Valley Brick Works. Official page evergreen.ca posts Saturdays 8 a.m.–1 p.m., with the Local Food Court open until 2 p.m. From May to October the stalls sit outdoors under the pavilions (outdoor season started Saturday, May 2, 2026); from November to April the market moves indoors to the TD Future Cities Centre. Vendors are required to sit within a 205 km radius of the Brick Works. First-timers: go for produce and prepared food before 10 a.m., bring reusable bags and containers (Muuse cups are free to borrow), and skip the paid lot if you can — Evergreen runs a shuttle from Broadview Station. Dogs are allowed at the outdoor market on a short leash, not indoors. This is the city-wide Saturday shop, not a quiet neighbourhood loop. Phone on the existing Very Toronto profile: (416) 596-1495.

First-timers: produce, meat, dairy, pickles, and a prepared-food lap (Sonam’s momos, Paratha Begum, Mad Mexican show up on the official vendor list). Dogs on leash outdoors only — not inside the Barn in winter. An ATM is on the second floor; a few vendors are still cash-only. This is the west-midtown community market, not a tourist hall.

St. Lawrence Market Saturday Farmers Market

“Best dawn market downtown: North Building Saturdays 5 a.m.–3 p.m. — do not confuse it with the South Market hall next door.”

— Very Toronto Editors

The Saturday Farmers Market is the North Building half of St. Lawrence Market: 92–95 Front Street East. Official hours page stlawrencemarket.com/pages/hours_parking posts Saturdays 5 a.m.–3 p.m. year-round, including the winter holiday season. That is the farmers market — not the South Market hall (Tuesday–Friday 9 a.m.–7 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m.–5 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday closed). First-timers: the North Building is the 5 a.m. Ontario-grower floor; walk next door to the South Market after for the permanent stalls and the peameal bacon sandwich. Saturday Green P at Lower Jarvis and The Esplanade is $1/hour for the first two hours, 5 a.m.–6 p.m. Phone (416) 392-7219, email stlawrencemarket@toronto.ca.
