The Withrow Park Farmers’ Market is a project of the Centre for Local Food Initiatives. We've adopted an ecological and local focus on fresh produce and prepared foods. As part of our eco responsibility we invite market patrons to walk, bike, or take the TTC to the market (we are located between Chester and Pape TTC stations), and use reusable shopping bags (also available for purchase at the market) and containers for soft fruits.

Le Marché des Fermiers du parc Withrow est un projet du " Centre for Local Food Initiatives " (Centre pour les initatives de nourritures locales). Notre mission est des promouvoir produits locaux et écologiques (mets préparés, fruits et légumes, etc…).
Dans le cadre de notre éco-responsabilité, nous encourageons les clients du Marché à y venir à pied, en vélo ou à utiliser les transports en commun (TTC) ; nous sommes situés entre les stations Chester et Pape; de plus nous recommandons l’utilisation de sacs réutilisables (en vente au Marché) et de recipients pour les fruits.
Des bénévoles bilingues sont normalement en devoir durant les heures d’ouverture.
