What I love about the Guelph Farmers’ Market is that people come together to support our local farmers by purchasing their fresh fruits and vegetables. What I love about working at the Guelph Farmers’ Market is that I feel that I can be a part of supporting others to have a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy seeing folks buy local produce from our hard working farmers because by eating local foods we get more of our nutritional nutrients with the freshest food available. Remember ‘local’ is celebrated all year long at our market.
