MISSION & GOALS

The Dunnville Farmers’ Market was established in 1893 by a non-profit group created for local farmers by local farmers.  All our farmers and artisans live within 100 km of Haldimand County and bring fresh quality produce, value-added farm products, and artisan crafts to market two days a week.

The Dunnville Farmers’ Market is vendor run and operated by our members.  Every dollar spent by customers goes directly to our farmers and vendors.
