Knowing where and when to go is the first step to becoming a market regular. The **Bolton Farmers’ Market** is a cornerstone of our community, typically running from late spring through to early fall. You’ll find it bustling on Saturday mornings in the heart of Bolton, drawing both long-time residents and new visitors alike. This market is a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to sample the region’s bounty. Expect a vibrant atmosphere, a wide variety of vendors, and often, live music or community events that make it much more than just a shopping trip.

A little further afield, but well worth the drive for its unique offerings, is the **Erin Farmers’ Market**. While technically just outside Caledon's immediate borders, many Caledon residents frequent it for its particular selection and relaxed vibe.

For instance, you can often find details and vendor lists for the Bolton market through the Town of Caledon’s local events listings, or sometimes directly on
