One of the most unique and special parts about Halton Hills is that we are surrounded by lush agricultural land. We have the luxury of eating farm-to-table, which is a very special gift.
There are two weekly farmers' markets from June through to the fall, unique specialty food shops that offer melt-in-your-mouth cheeses and local meats, farms where you can meet animals and pick a pumpkin and nurseries to bring a little bit of colour home with you.
Local Farmers Markets
The Acton Farmers' Market is not only a great place to purchase local produce and goods, but it is a place to enjoy the evening with family and friends in our historic downtown. Take a stroll through the heart of Canada's Original Leathertown and visit over 120 unique shops and services. The Acton Farmers' Market often has live performances, check out their Facebook page for updates.
Meet your friends and chat over a coffee, or introduce your kids to the farmers who grow the foods you eat! Stroll through our beautiful, historic streets and visit some of the many wonderful shops and services offered in Downtown Georgetown. Check out the BIA Farmers' Market website for special events at the market and vendor information.
