Farmers Markets to be added to fall fairs

The Township of Wellington North is pleased to announce a Farmers’ Market has been added to the Arthur and Mount Forest Fall Fairs.

The Arthur Agricultural Society and the Mount Forest Agricultural Society are partnering with the township to include the markets.

The Mount Forest Agricultural Society is celebrating its 153rd annual Fall Fair and will host the Farmers’ Market on Sept. 2 and 3.

The Arthur Agricultural Society is celebrating its 156th annual Fall Fair and will host the Farmers’ Market on Sept. 9. Both markets will run from 10am to 4pm (free admission).

“A Farmers’ Market is a good opportunity for both communities to work together,” said April Marshall, the township’s tourism, marketing and promotions manager.

“It also adds to each fairs’ line-up of activities and will help to grow attendance by drawing more visitors from Wellington North and beyond.”

Nicole West of the Mount Forest Agricultural Committee and Lisa Stroszka of the Arthur Agricultural Society extended an invitation to all local farmers to participate in the first annual farmers’ markets.
