In 2012, we were founded to increase access to sustainably-produced, local foods in Kingston. We were initiated by farmers, in collaboration with the Williamsville Neighbourhood Association. All products are grown and produced in the Kingston foodshed – within about 100km of the market.
Shopping at our market helps to realize the goals of the Farmers’ Market Association of Kingston:
- building the food security of Kingston ON – making Kingston less reliant on food from afar
- offering a uniquely producer-run market – increasing resilience of our food system
- creating an opportunity for local farmers to market products – supporting local farms and farming families
- providing the freshest, most nutrient-rich agricultural products for eaters who shop here
MCFM is a member of Farmers’ Markets Ontario, and a Sustainable Kingston partner.
