The Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market operates every Saturday for their highly-anticipated sixth season on Pelissier Street and Maiden Lane in Downtown Windsor from May 1 to December 11, 2021.

The Downtown Windsor Farmers Market offers farm fresh fruit, vegetables, produce and unique artisan food products from the best our area has to offer.

Last year, the DWFM worked closely with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit and Farmers’ Market Ontario to ensure that social distancing measures and safety protocols were in place when the market opened; even stricter protocols will be followed this year.

Some of the 2021 measures will include:

Physical distancing measures at entry and exit points

Division of site and one-way traffic flow in each direction

Hand-wash stations, portable toilets, masks and sanitizers at all entrances/exits

Patio services to be removed until such time as the health regulations allow for the congregation of market visitors

All interactive features, like Kids Corner and Chef’s Table, to be moved to virtual experiences

The Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that connects residents of Windsor and surrounding areas to the farmers of Essex County by providing residents with local, fresh and in-season food in an accessible setting. They aim to raise the profile of local food producers and entrepreneurs by giving them a venue in which to sell their goods, while educating the public about the rich agricultural diversity that exists in Essex County. Through partnerships they work to build a stronger sense of community, restore the positive image of downtown and bring vitality back to our city.
