Located at 897 Loveland Madeira Road between the Castle Skateland and the former bowling alley.
If you ventured out last Tuesday among the rain drops and ferocious storm, the vendors and I thank you. Rain or shine the market goes on. After the ferocious storm, we didn’t last too long! Several vendors had tents damaged severely enough that they had to be thrown away. (Even though we require that tents be weighted down, the wind won.) One vendor’s car windshield took a hit from a tent . . . and there were some cuts and bruises.
We did survive, however, and are back tomorrow even stronger and better. So visit the market again to stock up on the fresh food you have come to enjoy!
See you tomorrow between 3:00 and 7:00 pm.

p.s. Why did the Mayor make the farmers market move from Jackson Market to the bowling alley, because they had to do something with the property? Old place seemed like a natural fit an they have been forced to move too much already.
How about an old school diner, reasonable breakfast, lunch, blueplate specials, good coffee with Chrome and Neon? p.s. Popeye’s Rules!
The Taste of Toronto is coming to Loveland, eh?
