Haliburton County Farmers’ Market Association

Farmers’ markets are an excellent place to start selling your food products.  They are a low-risk way to test your product line and hear directly from your customers about what they want.  Haliburton County operates three market locations from May until October: Tuesdays in Haliburton Village, Fridays at Stanhope, and Saturdays in Minden.  The table fees are affordable, though you’ll need to purchase a tent or other shelter, and a table or two on which to display your wares.  Securing a place at the market can be much easier than getting your product into other retail outlets and serve as a great way to launch and grow your business in a welcoming locale.  Vendor application forms can be found on the HCFMA website below.
