THE PERTH FARMERS’ MARKET takes place every Saturday morning between May 7th and October 8th, 2016, in the Tay Basin Parking Lot and around the Crystal Palace.

Vendors are set-up between 8am and 1pm and offer fresh, local, organic in-season produce, plants, preserves, meat, home baking, and tons of other goodies. The Market also offers artisans and crafts, jewellry, entertainment occasionally and chance to have breakfast at the Piggin’ Out Market Cafe. This is a great way to spend a Saturday morning, getting to know your local producers in the heart of downtown Perth!

Thanks to the founding people and many dedicated vendors, volunteers and customers, our market is one of the most interesting and vibrant in Ontario.  Because of this success we have a steady core of vendors that offer high quality, and a good variety of produce, crafts and services.

These are just some of the products you can find on any given market day:
•    local organically grown produce,
•    home baked pies, pastries and bread,
•    pickles, jams and preserves of all kinds,
•    confections
•    flowers, herbs and plants,
•    garlic, honey and maple syrup,
•    meat and eggs
•    weaving, juried crafts and jewellery
•    BBQ pork
•    Market Cafe

The attractive and scenic location, free parking on Saturdays and “al fresco” eating tables combined with local music makes Saturday mornings at the market a winning combination. Every Saturday one lucky patron wins the contents of the market basket which is filled with samples contributed by the vendors that day.

Sunday, November 29th, 2015 the PERTH FARMERS’ MARKET hosts a CHRISTMAS MARKET at the Crystal Palace in Perth, 9am to 3pm

Welcome to the McDonalds Corners Farmers Market where you can buy locally-grown food. On July 25, you’ll also be able to buy locally produced yarns, spinning fibre and beautiful artisan-made garments.

When: July 25th

Time: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Place: MERA Schoolhouse

Local fibre producers and spinners, knitters, weavers and felters have formed a group called Fibre Roads, with the aim of promoting the ‘buy local’ concept in the fibre arts. After all, Eastern Ontario was once a major centre of textile manufacturing – and now, people in this area are raising fleece-breed sheep, alpacas and llamas, and creating the heirlooms of the future.

On July 25, Fibre Roads members will be selling at a mini-Fibre Festival at MERA. While you’re at the Farmers’ Market, come round the other side of the Schoolhouse and see the work of local fibre artists and watch them demonstrating spinning, weaving, carding, and other fibre work. You can even try your hand at some of those techniques!

a Company of Fools is back with the ever popular Torchlight Shakespeare – bringing Shakespeare to Ottawa parks all summer long! This season’s production is the farcical play The Comedy of Errors.

When: July 22, 2015

Time: 7:00pm

Where: MERA Schoolhouse

About The Comedy of Errors

When two sets of identical twins separated at birth are brought to the same town by circumstance, mistaken identities abound! Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, the result is a series of wildly comical mishaps which challenge the notion of truly knowing one’s friend, spouse, neighbour and self!

Meet the Fools – Our Cast and Crew

Directed by Catriona Leger, this season’s case includes Warren Bain, AL Connors, Scott Florence, Gabrielle Lazarovitz, Geoff McBride, Katie Ryerson. Featuring costume design by Vanessa Imeson and set design by David Benedict Brown.

Pass-the-hat donations are collected at the end of the performances and can be submitted in the form of cash or check More information and a detailed park schedule can be found at www.fools.ca or by phoning 613-863-7529.
