If you're searching for farm fresh food and want to support local, an app from York Farm Fresh features a guide to do just that.
The mobile York Farm Fresh app — which is available in eight languages, including English, Farsi, Urdu and French — lists both local farms and markets and provides information about what they sell and when they’re open.
The 2021 Guide Map includes the Newmarket Farmers Market, which takes place every Saturday at Riverwalk Commons, as one of the spots to visit.
Also listed is Holland Marsh Wineries, at 18270 Keele St., Newmarket, which is known for its local wines, tastings and tours (when pandemic restrictions are lifted).
Fresh Veggies at 60 Aileen — as the name suggests, the market is located on 60 Aileen Ave., Newmarket — and they sell fresh Holland Marsh produce.
Another local favourite is Strawberry Creek Farm at 17471 Woodbine Ave. in Newmarket, which offers locally grown fruits, veggies and baking, and is expected to open to the public in mid-June.
Outside of Newmarket, other local growers and sellers are at nearby locations in Aurora, Sharon, Stouffville, Kettleby, King City, and more.
