The Lakefield Farmers' Market is extending its 2024 season until Oct. 24.
While the market traditionally finishes on Thanksgiving weekend, record-breaking attendance and strong community support have allowed the market to extend its season by two more weeks.
The Lakefield Farmers' Market runs every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, in the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre parking lot.
The market sells locally produced items, including fresh produce, baked goods, ready-made lunches, local meats, honey, maple syrup, VQA wines, handcrafted knitting and more.
“It’s been an incredible season, and thanks to our amazing community, we’ve seen record-breaking attendance,” said Market Manager, Stacey Sullivan. “We’re excited to keep the market open a little longer this year and provide a place for our community to gather and support local businesses.”
