The Saturday Farmers’ Market is bursting with colour, as we are entering the height of our fruit season here in Niagara. Juicy plums, apricots, peaches and nectarines are in abundance, in addition to wonderfully crisp leafy vegetables, corn on the cob, beans, potatoes, microgreens, and so much more.  This Saturday as always, breakfast will be available, amazing baked goods and hot coffee & tea, jams, and preserves, cheese, eggs, honey, maple syrup, sauces, antiques, eco-friendly bath, body and home products, and more.  All of our vendors at your Market are 100% local, and they certainly appreciate the support of our community.

Rising before dawn to prepare for the Market’s 8am start time is no challenge for Rose & Ken Bartel, as they regularly start work on the farm bright and early just after 6am. The Bartels, a well-known local Niagara on the Lake power couple in the farming industry, have been serving customers at The Market @ The Village since the Market began in 2007. Rose grew up on a grape farm; she notes that her passion for growing and harvesting produce surely did not stem from working on her parents’ farm! Not being overly fond of working with grapes, Rose went attended Niagara College, and obtained a degree in horticulture, while her husband Ken pursued a degree in Agriculture.  If you visit The Market @ The Village today, you will find Rose assembling fresh cut flower bouquets for customers while Ken handles the produce side of things.
