Best atmosphere of all the markets I do. – Josh Belanger, farmer
As one of the only organic farmers at the market, Belanger’s Organic Farm has a number of loyal customers in the neighbourhood. Josh is a fourth generation farmer; his great grandfather purchased the land in Hillsdale where the farm still operates. They provide certified organic produce, such as beets, carrots, garlic and potatoes, as well as raised organic meat such as fresh lamb, veal and frozen meat pies. That means that all the animals are fed certified organic food that comes directly from their 200-acre farm.
Josh says that our market has the best atmosphere of all the markets that he does, and he especially appreciates the nice dinners that our volunteer community cooks provide to the farmers (at no cost!). We’re so glad, because we always appreciate the meals that our farmers provide us!
The East Lynn Farmers’ Market runs every Thursday from 3-7 p.m. between June-October at East Lynn Park, located on the south side of Danforth Ave, just west of Woodbine Ave.
