ABOUT THE GUELPH FARMERS’ MARKET
The Guelph Farmers’ Market has been a community cornerstone in Guelph since 1827.
Having operated for almost 200 years, it is an important community asset and civic space.
The current location, formerly a horse barn on Wilson Street, has been the Market’s home for over 50 years. In 2022, 10C Shared Space assumed the operations and activation of the Farmers’ Market building, grounds and events.
