After 17 fun-filled weeks, the 2011 Caledon Farmers' Market season will draw to a close on October 6th.

Given that we are in the midst of harvest season, our vendors' booths have never looked better ~ overflowing with fresh and colourful local produce, meats, baked goods, honey and many other delectable foods and treats.

The Market is also an ideal shopping location for a variety of crafts, artwork, jewellery and a variety of other items.

There are activities for children in our Market Sprouts Club and the Market is also pet-friendly, making it a great outing for the entire family.

See below for a summary of what to expect at the Caledon Farmers' Market over the next two weeks:
