Change is in the air right now at the , and it鈥檚 definitely tied to the seasons.
As the warm-weather weekly markets wind down this month for the year, VFM鈥檚 two fall-winter markets prep to kick in, but with one key alteration: The market is now year-round, absorbing the previous Nat Bailey winter farmers鈥� market.
The popular Saturday market, which runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at East 30th and Ontario, will continue to operate at that time and location through to next spring.
VFM has broken down what we can expect on the site, and that鈥檚 most certainly an expansion at Riley Park, with double the vendors coming on board between November and April, including food and beverage trucks. Here鈥檚 what the year will look like for Riley Park:
- January to April: 60-plus farms and producers, food and coffee trucks
- May to October: 30-plus farms and producers, food and coffee trucks
- November to December: 60-plus farms and producers, food and coffee trucks
Things will look and feel about the same through the end of October, with the expanded market offerings launching on Nov. 3. You can use the VFM鈥檚 site tools to see which vendors are booked that week.
