Find Us At Market
It’s our passion to offer an alternative way to buy food, one where the hands who sell it are the hands that grew it. Many believe this relationship between grower and consumer is, in part, what makes local food so good. And we agree, because when one has the knowing of how, where, and who grew the food that brings nourishment, one’s food can be fully enjoyed.
Guelph Market
The climax of our week at Duurzame Growers is pulling up early Saturday morning in the back parking lot of Guelph’s downtown farmers market. Through April to December, we arrive with a truck load of fresh produce to unpack, display, and sell to our Guelph community. Rain or shine, the market runs every Saturday of the year. It’s a delight to grow food for a community that appreciates, respects, and supports local food. Since becoming vendors at market, we are thrilled to now call many of our customers friends, and to know them by name as they stop to pickup their weekly provisions. We are honored to share conversation with our customers where they are given an opportunity to ask “How exactly is this lettuce grown?”, or “What do the heirloom tomatoes funky names mean?”. We appreciate any question. It’s our passion to offer an alternative way to buy food, one where the hands who sell it are the hands that grew it.

Elora Farmers Market
At the Elora Farmers’ Market, visitors discover not only fantastic local foods, treats, and artisanal products but also a sense of community. Our market serves as a vibrant hub, energized by our customers, which is what makes it truly special. Operating from May to December, we kick off the season on the first weekend of May, nestled beside the picturesque Grand River in Bissell Park, Elora. While the market has evolved and flourished over the years, our vision remains steadfast: to offer a genuine farmers’ market experience where every Saturday, people can find locally sourced, sustainably grown produce, meats, cheeses, delightful baked goods, preserves and artisanal crafts.
