History & Profile

Sherway Gardens Farmers’ Market has evolved from a fledgling set-up in a  parking lot on the west edge of what was then Etobicoke to a ‘growing’  concern. The secret to their success is two-fold – only present the highest  quality produce to the consumer and maintain a friendly attitude. It seems  that the light-hearted banter between vendors and consumers is just as  appealing to weekly shoppers as the fresh Ontario produce they take home.
