There are many farmer's markets around and so far in Canada, this is the largest, organized and really great farmer's market with outdoor tentages and indoor stalls. Outdoor ones sell fresh produce like fruits and vegetables while the indoor ones sell cheeses, fresh meats, cooked food, coffee etc.
When I was here the weather was great and from my observation, most people buy apples here and the apples look really fresh, some customers buy them and the kids eat them on the spot which shows how fresh and nice the apples are.

This place is definitely a great place for a family outing with the kids able to interact with the producers and have fun choosing what they like to eat and breathe...

In regards to the other reviewers saying it is too small, this is not a super market, if you want that experience then I strongly suggest you go to one instead. the reason you come to the Guelph farmers market is for that closeness and the overall experience and you will not have a good time if you just expect everyone to be in a hurry to get out of your way, make sure you have lots of time set aside so you can take your time to enjoy yourself and you will have a 5 star...
