Farmers' markets in Toronto are still operating during summer 2020 on a weekly basis, even if lots of them have moved online or, sadly, been cancelled. These markets are a great way to get farm fresh food in the city, so it's a good thing some will still be open albeit with restrictive safety measures in place.
Here's a breakdown of farmers' markets in Toronto this summer by day of the week.
Monday
Sorauren Farmers' Market
Sorauren Park, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
One-way traffic flow has been implemented at this weekday market, and it's recommended that one person per household shop and that orders be placed in advance. Find everything from fresh veggies to fish, chocolate, deli products, momos and pierogies.
Tuesday
Cabbagetown Farmers' Market
Riverdale Park West, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Shop for kombucha, baked goods, produce, chocolate and much more when you visit this market that connects local providers with the Cabbagetown neighbourhood.
Trinity Bellwoods Farmer's Market
Trinity Bellwoods Park, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Social distancing is especially important at this market as it's one of the city's most popular. Order pickles, crackers, fish, cheese and organic produce ahead of time and pick up wearing a mask, without lingering.
East York Farmers' Market
East York Civic Centre, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
No food can be consumed on site nor can samples be offered at this market this year, and there will be a single entrance to the market. Pets also have to be left at home, and some usual vendors won't be in attendance.
Wednesday
Montgomery's Inn Farmers' Market
4709 Dundas Street West, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Organic veggies, meat, cheese, sunflower oil, honey, baked goods and oven-ready goods are available from this reopened farmers' market in a grassy area.

St. Lawrence Market Farmers' Market
St. Lawrence Market, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This is arguably one of the most popular and central markets, but fortunately long hours make it easy to get there early. Barriers and other restrictions have been put in place, but it's still where to go to get some of the best local products in the city.

Humber Bay Shores Farmers' Market
Humber Bay Park West, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This market collects a ton of different vendors selling dairy products, produce, meats, juices, wine, knives, tea, kombucha and pretty much anything else you can think of.
The St. Lawrence Market has taken over the streets this summer.
