What can you find at the market?

The market features fresh fruit and vegetables, artisan food products and craft vendors. Its programming also includes activities such as the Kids Corner, food demonstrations and entertainment. Check the current announcements for what is planned during your visit.

Take a look around before filling your bags. Ask vendors what they recommend, how they use an unfamiliar ingredient or which items would work well together for a meal.

You could give your visit a simple purpose: find the ingredients for dinner, choose a treat to share or pick out a handmade gift. Leave some room for an unexpected discovery.

Visit Amherstburg Farmers’ Market for an Outdoor Outing

Stop at Willow Tree Market in Kingsville

Willow Tree Market is a family farm market on Division Road North in Kingsville. Its selection includes fruit, vegetables, homemade baking, sweets, Lebanese foods and locally sourced items.

It offers a different kind of stop from a street market with individual vendor stalls. Browse its current seasonal opening information when planning a visit, whether you are making a dedicated trip or adding it to a day in Kingsville.

Think about what you would enjoy taking home: produce for the week, something baked to share or a prepared food you have been curious to try. Contact the market first if you are travelling for a particular item.

How Can You Make the Most of a Market Visit?

Choose a market that fits the kind of outing you want, then check its latest schedule. There is no need to fit every stop into the same day.

A little preparation leaves more time to enjoy browsing:

• Bring reusable bags: Leave room for delicate produce and baked goods.
• Start with a flexible shopping list: Know what you need, but let the available selection inspire a meal.
• Ask about the products: Find out where something was grown or made and how the vendor recommends using it.
• Plan your other stops: Consider when you will take your purchases home before extending the outing.
• Check special requirements: Confirm accessibility, pet policies or specific activities directly if they will affect your plans.

Visiting again at a different point in the season also gives you a chance to see what has changed and reconnect with vendors you enjoyed meeting.
