Farmers markets in Ontario not only bring city people and country people together - they bring neighbours together and foster a sense of community.
That's according to Robert Chorney, Executive Director of Farmers Markets Ontario.
This is Local Food Week in Ontario and Chorney suggests farmers markets provide the chance to taste and enjoy the delicious food grown in Ontario and meet the many people who grow it.
Chorney's organisation is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Among other things, Farmers Markets Ontario authenticates vendors as MyPick Verified Local Farmers.
Chorney says that sets them apart from vendors who may buy their produce, much of it imported, at food terminals.
Farmers Markets Ontario has a listing of markets in the province on its website - farmersmarketsontario.com.
