Local farmers proudly share the excitement and flavour of the Welland farmers market with you. Since 1907, locals and tourists visit the market each Saturday to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, tasty meats and eggs, natural cheeses, baked goods and handmade goods.
The Welland farmers market is a community place where creativity, openness, and cooperation are encouraged. Patrons get to shop local and support their own community. Every Saturday, we get to celebrate the talents and expertise our local farmers and artisans bring to the market.
