Ottawa Street Farmers' Market

A great place for fresh produce, open year-round! It really blossomed in recent years, thanks to a truly dedicated market manager who revamped it, bringing in new local area farmers and food vendors with plenty of offerings. Even during a difficult growing season, as in 2019, there's been plenty to choose from. Friendly folk with great food! (Note that the lots still charge for parking on Saturdays, so if you drive you might want to find street parking, instead.)

Really super disappointed this year. Been down a few times. Limited vendors and the prices are high.Been going to this market for many, many years. Now it seems you can buy better at a grocery store.

Not the old Farmers market, but still some actual local farmers.Quaint. A tad pricey. Better selection to come?

Shout out to Weathervane Farm and Branching Path Farm for garlic scapes and beets, to make beet top and scape pesto!

An incredible spot! Such nice service and they roast their own beans. An incredible selection of fresh local goods.

This is one of the last true farmers markets left in Hamilton. The vendors here are selling produce for you to put down for the winter from local farms at Great prices.Fletcher's apples are to die for, and are worth the trip on their own. Branching Path Farm has all sorts of heritage vegetables and greens, the Peaches are fantastic, you can buy bushels of tomatoes or red peppers, and lots of other seasonal treats and baked goods.I try to go every week.

Wonderful Saturday market! Local farmers offering fresh and nutritious food. How lucky are we to live where we can buy directly from the folks who grow our food. (Plus they have wine, bread and sweets!)

Only a quick walk for those in Crown Point but worth the trip if you're outside of the area. Plenty of fantastic vendors with seasonal produce, great baked goods, and even treats for your furry friends. It's hard to not come home with a little more than you intended!

Lovely market on Ottawa street north in Hamilton... on a Saturday morning. There's paid parking across the street (machine wasn't working so we got it for free?), but one can also look for free street parking along the many side streets.The prices are reflective to what you'd pay at typical famers' markets (a little pricey), but everything looked fresh and vibrant.Greta conversation about herbs and weed with the guys from Branching Path Farm. The bread from Luscious Ds (country loaf) is a MUST.. best bread I've had in a while.Be sure to check out the wife/husband team at Nature Lion Mushrooms.. not only can you grab a mushroom growing starter kit, they also had a good selection of freshly harvested mushrooms for sale. For me, it was the conversation with the gentleman about growing, nurturing and re-growing mushrooms that stood out. They're very knowledgeable (or at least seemed that way) on the subject.Excellent COVID protocol/practice in effect.
