Lakefield Farmers' Market

The popular weekly market in the Township of Selwyn brings together local farmers, local artisans, and prepared food vendors using local products 

A Thursday morning spent shopping at the Lakefield Farmers’ Market will make it clear just how important a role agriculture plays in Peterborough County’s economy. 

Every week between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving, the popular market takes over the parking lot of the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre, located in the Township of Selwyn, one of the eight townships in Peterborough County. 

Now in its 16th season, the Lakefield Farmers’ Market showcases up to 25 vendors every week, bringing together products grown by local farmers, unique pieces created by talented artisans from across the region, and baked goods and meals made using regional ingredients. All of the vendors are based in Ontario, with most of them located within Peterborough County.
