Learn about Mississauga's 2020 Lakeview Farmers’ Market

The CreativeHub 1352 organizers are excited to launch the new Lakeview Farmer’s Market in south Mississauga.  The Market features local, sustainable, organic and artisanal products which provide an important source of income for local farmers, growers, producers and artisans. 
Join them to support locally grown food and farm producers.

Originally, they planned to launch the market in the historic Small Arms Inspection Building at Dixie & Lakeshore Rd, but due to Covid-19 this plan is on hold.  
Due to COVID-19 and the regulations established by the Region of Peel Public Health and the Province of Ontario, they can provide a curbside pick-up program for pre-ordered produce at this time.
