• 2022 Thornton Farmers' Market

  • Welcome to the application page for the 2022 Thornton Farmers' Market!

    This market is held every Friday afternoon, from 11-5 pm, beginning on May 27 until October 21, a 22-week commitment.

    Our corner location on County Road 27 and Innisfil Beach Road makes this a hotspot for weekend cottage traffic on their way to the Georgian Bay from the GTA.  This location is also a short drive for residents of Cookstown, South Barrie, Baxter, and Egbert. 

    Thornton is a commuter community, and has no local grocery. It is also a 20-minute drive from the nearest local farmers markets in Barrie, Innisfil and Angus. The community members are very supportive of this effort, and we have enjoyed their support since opening in 2018.

    If you are a farmer or hand-crafter in the neighbouring communities of Essa and Innisfil townships, or from Simcoe County, I invite you to take part in this very affordable and extremely appealing market. We put an emphasis on selecting vendors who are within 30 minutes of Thornton, but if you have a unique product, applications from beyond our area are considered.

    Please fill out the following application and hit the "Submit" button when the form is complete.

    Once you are approved, payment will be needed by May 1, 2020 to allow us to pay the property owner as well as necessary insurance coverage and marketing materials.

    If you have any questions, or concerns, I can be reached at 705-241-7772.
