19th Avenue Farmer's Market

I loved the place. The time I visited was perfect around 12pm. No crowd very easy billing. I gifted cabbage and broccoli. 💕💕. Wax on turnip was difficult to peel. I had my backyard huge pumpkin. I made a super dish called erissery with pumpkin, little turnip and sweet potato . Very yummy 😋

I passed by this farm every week. I always see it so busy but few parking spots. Last Sunday I decided to quickly visit and check it out. I parked my car on the road. I am not sure if it was okay. I thought if I didn’t block the road and I did quick shopping it should be okay. I was fascinated by such varieties of fresh vegetables. I bought cauliflower, beets, carrots, squash, … the veggies are also sold in basket. The price is very good. The produces are so fresh. I just love it. I recommend to drop by and support this local farm if you are in the neighbour. Staffs are very friendly.

It was a nice Autumn day to visit the farmer’s market. There was a queue at the entrance to get inside the market because they now have a capacity limit to make sure it’s not over crowded. They also sanitized the shopping cart for each customer before they go in so, it felt quite safe. It was busy when I arrived on a Sat afternoon. Their parking lot was small so it could be a little difficult to park during the peak hours. Although it was busy, but the queue moved quickly so the wait wasn’t too bad. This market have a great selection of fresh crops. The vegetables and fruits were mostly sold in bulk but the price was quite reasonable. Most items were fresh & good quality. Besides vegetables and fruits, you could also buy nice seasonal flowers there. Now it’s the month of October, so you could find all types of pumpkins there. It was definitely a good market. Look forward to our next visit!

We came here often in summer time, and last time we came by was last week on a weekend. They have a variety of really fresh fruits and veggies, almost everything local and basic you might need. I find it reasonably priced as its a local establishment that needs to do everything themselves. Price is really fair for the quality and freshness you get. Its conveniently located off 404 and Elgin. They have a small parking lot, which is their only drawback. However, Even though I visited almost on weekends everytime, you will find a spot quickly. The staff is super nice and friendly, and they help customers line up at the front enterance to make it more organized as the inside is not pretty spacious. Overall, pretty nice and clean farmers market compared to a few I have been to, with fair pricing.

I don’t recommend, please read my note! Bad customer service, they are so rude they do not let us to speak they don’t accept that and they say we do not care about negative comments because we have so many costomer. We bought this box of cauliflower from them when i called them they don’t accept that. They told me you do not know how use it thats why it is like this😂, and she told me you separate the part from each other then use it, they think we eat trash by suggesting that to me!!!! And also they sell people this kind of product and they did not accept from there costomer and they told you know it is 10$ it should be like it! Ok why you sell trash to people!! Reallyyyyy rude people!!!

I truly enjoy the fresh produce here and greatly appreciate the hard work of the staff. It would be wonderful if management could continue to foster a culture where both the team and leadership are even friendlier and more helpful, making the overall experience just as delightful as the fresh produce 💕

19th Avenue Farmers Market is one of the best spots in the area for fresh produce. Every visit feels a little different since there is always something new you do not usually see at regular grocery stores. The fruits and vegetables are fresh, well stocked, and the prices are very fair for the quality you get. It is a great place to wander, try something new, and bring home food that tastes like it was just picked.

My favourite market in this area. Fresh fruit and vegetable, kind staff n big selection of European vegetable as well the local product. Great value during the harvest season. They offer bulk shopping, item on big volumn with real deal. I love their tomato, especially their Marzano tomato, so sweet n good price. Do go in the early morning, less crowd n more fresh vegetable in assorted in a box for good value.

Visited this farmer's market w/ my gf on Canada Day. Parking lot seemed tiny but ppl are always coming and going so finding parking wasn't much of an issue actually (it's a one way parking lot). Lots of variety/selection and all the produce is temperature maintained and kept cool for customers by the giant fans blowing. The tomatoes were incredibly ripe, juicy and you couldn't find a single blemish on the skins at all! Same with the peppers. Perfect skin without blemishes. I got to pat some plump eggplants on the way out hehe.

A nice place to visit to get your annuals and perennials. Parking might be lacking at times but still worth visiting. There are some baked goods, produce and fresh free-run eggs.

Super fresh, super stocked with beautifully displayed fruit and vegetables. Prices were good too. My only gripe is I wish it was larger with more space to walk through. The layout follows an assembly line kind of line up that goes through the entire market. It makes for very confusing, awkward and rushed experience as you constantly feel like you're standing in someones way.

Good selection Larger portions than I require as one person in a household Reasonably priced compared to grocery stores

Best place for fresh summer vegetables and fruit. Also amazing plants. Summer is the best - wild blueberries, corn, so much more.

Second time ordering from this farm, did the crib pickup. First time i was very impressed with the quality of the eggs, sweet peas, corn, baby cucumbers, artichokes and the zucchini..but my second time ordering i was very dissappointed with the quality everything seemed like it was purchased from a grocery store. I order enough from local farms to know the difference, I felt completely cheated. I didnt bother complaining due to the reviews i came across about how aggressive management can be, I decided to take this as a loss and lesson learned. I will only return for the artichokes and sweet peas both times they came good quality. First batch of eggs all had orange yolk second batch of eggs it was yellow yolks basic eggs from any grocery store.. it doesnt seem its from 'the chickens diet'

The fruits and veggies here are very fresh, and there's lots of variety! My favourites are the strawberries and peaches, very sweet and juicy. Fruits are usually sold in small batches, while veggies are sold in baskets/bags. Smaller portions are also available, but pricier. I recommend buying with friends and family, or making veggie soup with all the veggies. They also carry some pies, jams, and free run eggs. Sometimes near the end of the season the prices are reduced slightly.

Fresh, Seasonal with quite a good varieties! A little pricey but for some of the fresher and unique produces, I don't really mind paying. Green Beans was so fresh and great to make salad out for them! Lines could be long but there are 4 cashiers working so the wait was not too bad. I love coming here to get some inspiration of what to made: just like real chef checking out the best produce and practice farm to table. I love their varieties of herbs too! Fun place to shop!

Just. Awesome. 19th Avenue Farmers Market is freaking awesome. It is the first time I see what a real farm-to-table market is like. Locally grown and picked produce can be bought by the bucket at the outdoor market. Home cooking chefs can buy retail-sized at the indoor market. Selection vary by season, On my visit, I counted that there were cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, celery, leeks, onions, beets, corns, zucchini, and many other produces. There were various varieties of tomatoes, eggplants, chills, cucumbers, peas, herbs, peppers, etc.. Some I have never seen before (I got excited over a Sicilian eggplant that looked like a giant purple tomato). Of course, there were many fruits. Please look at the pictures to see the selections yourself. There was also a fridge that stored fresh eggs. There was a small section of pastries. And oh mine, everything was so fresh. The spinach and onions I bought were so fresh that I could smell it. If you are going make a batch of pasta sauce, salsa or pickled cucumbers, I don't see why you can't buy half a bucket or even a bucket for cheap here. 19th Avenue Farmers Market also runs a Pick-Your-Own Strawberries field in summer. Opening day varies. Please check the website for opening days and hours as well as appropriate containers to bring with you. 19th Ave Farmers Market opens to public from June to November, 7 days a week. It is conveniently located near Woodbine Avenue and 19th Avenue. Parking is free. 19th Ave Farmers Market is owned and run by the Top Tomato Foods. It has a stall at the Ontario Food Terminal since 1960.

This farmers market is awesome!!!! just went to get some tomatoes for making tomato sauce and end up buying tomatoes, peppers, cauflower, parsley, pumpkin, kale, onions, cilantro, eggplants. Other than these they had apples, strawberry, corn and many more fruits and vegetables. They are all super fresh. It feels good to buy from local farmers too. Prices were very reasonable, I will definitely go there again and highly recommended.

Excellent produce, flowers and prices; clean and fast services staff...a must visit place in York region

we use to love shopping there, but they have very rude personnel now. there is no respect for customers. I wouldn't give them any business.

I went here once with my mom during late Summer. We both had wonderful time shopping their fresh farm produces. Some are freshly grown from their back field, like melons, watermelons, and peppers, etc. On my gosh, those mini melons selling in bulks were at very good deals and they smell so fresh and sweet. They tried them at home. They were very juicy and delicious. I like that there was a choice for shopping for a half bucket and a whole bucket. The mini watermelon was also of good deal and delicious. They were all fresh because they were all freshly picked from the spot. I found that they also sold different types of Italian cucumber. There were two types of cucumber I had never seen before. It was very interesting indeed. Staff working there were basically friendly and helpful. Free parking is provided but the parking lot will get busy during high season.

Very fresh and seasonal vegetables and fruit. Also have perennial and annual herbs and flowers. Some items are more pricey than others but sometimes you'll find a deal like a basket of zucchini for $1. Wish I had more photos but too busy selecting items!

I was so glad I found this place to buy fresh seasonal veggies and fruit. It's not a far drive away, its roughly about 15 mins from where I live which is totally manageable. It's great that they sell seasonal items and the prices I think are quite reasonable. I know some people are stating that it's pricey but I mean in 2018, with everything being so expensive. I didn't find this place to be that overpriced. Great selection of peppers, zucchini, herbs, cauliflowers...almost anything and everything that you can think of that is in the season. I try to come here as much as I can before heading to the local supermarket because I love organic and local both equally as much. Remember you are paying for quality, as this is not your local price matching no frills. Got a bucket of cauliflower heads for $4.99 and it had 5 in there. Now, that's a steal...went home and made myself and family some cauliflower soup, you can definitely tell a difference between organic cauliflower and a conventional cauliflower... All in all, glad to discover this place and happy that they are open year-round...

First off its called a farmers market which makes you think its more than one farm. wrong. its owned by one farm. Its also pricey. it pushes the price envelope. i cant take credit for that last sentence, i overheard a woman saying that to her friends who all agreed. i actually went twice. not super impressed. the produce is good though

Absolutely love this place! The only downside is that most items you have to buy a lot of. Even their smaller packages is sometimes too much for the 2 of us. The produce is all fresh and the staff are great. It's a fun place to buy fresh produce to try out new recipes.

Every spring I count the days until I can start picking up my fruits, veggies and herbs from this Richmond Hill landmark. Opening more than a few decades back, this market has evolved from a tiny roadside stand into the "go-to" place for fresh, local grown produce. Don't even get me started on the strawberries!!! And there is no other place to buy corn once the end of July rolls around. Every year I look forward to seeing how they keep making it better and better. They even have beautiful hanging baskets and tons of grow your own herbs and veggies! Special Note: The owners and staff are friendly and hard working and never disappoint. Highly recommended!!

I was here last summer I really loved the taste of the vegatables and fruits. I would highly recommend to everyone.

There is good, the bad and the ugly at this place. I'll start with the good and work my way down. Like local produce that looks amazing, along with a variety of peppers, eggplants, et cetera that you may or may not find at the big box grocer or otherwise. Beautiful colors and they are open every day during the warm season. They have farm fresh eggs and they take debit; as most places I have been to in the past usually are cash only outfits - so that works well enough for me. The bad - the pricing is more expensive than the big box stores; but I suspect in bulk it might end up cheaper. The ugly - while most of the staff is nice - just be aware that as customers you aren't really permitted to manhandle the produce; the staff here will not hesitate to tell you off very vocally and loudly regardless of others customers being within hearing distance. For me, it is a huge turnoff to see that as a customer, I understand it is with the best intentions - however I firmly believe there are better ways to inform customers rather than (at least what it seems to me) humiliating them in front of other strangers.

Love this market!! Great variety of anything you need! Flowers, plants, fruits, veggies, herbs, baked goods etc. Great customer service!

Best artichokes ever - locally grown, super fresh. I also got good cooking tips from the woman who helped me. I will be back, a bit of a drive but worth it for the seasonal selection.

Dominic's special field tomatoes are a must. The uglier they are the better they taste. Wait until August.

Excellent produce! Every time we go there it's a reminder we are living in paradise. We have access to amazing and delicious fruits and vegetables! So blessed. Thank you 19th Avenue! Keep up the good work! God bless you and your families!

This is not only an expensive place it is also run by few low lives that have no respect for customers and hide all their rotten produce with few good pieces on the top and do not expect returns. Be very careful with their produce.

Terrible customer service. Overall overpriced and low quality produce.

I've been coming here for years. Always amazing local fresh produce. And when items are in season you can find some great deals too. 3 massive heads of romaine lettuce for $5 in the summer. Or huge butternut squash 3 for $10 in the fall.

Been there for a few years now, their fresh sweet corns is always amazing, perfect for BBQ. Produces are mostly good, do keep in mind that they come in a large quantity,

I have been going to this market for years and have watched it grow and become much busier. The produce is always top quality and there are great deals to be had on the items they grow themselves. I am so happy to be able to support such a great local family farm!

Had great experience at this place for number of years. The location is not very convenient, so usually I would make that trip to get fresh produce and help our local community. Yesterday was the last time I went. I do not know what happened - new ownership or new hire. I have never been humiliated like that. I paid the bill and cashier was putting everything in the bags. Very determined and rude young lady came to the cash and said "let me check something". She went through the already purchased basket of sweet peppers and got one red pepper out there. Looking at me accusingly, she said that there is one red pepper too many in the basket, and it is not right. They apparently checked in the morning all the baskets to ensure that there is a correct proportion of peppers. Red ones are the premium peppers. I was standing there stunned and humiliated. Being in a rush and getting some veggies on the go without even thinking, I already spent more than 60 dollars. The last thing I cared - the color of peppers! I asked her what is she accusing me of. She said - nothing, I just want to replace one pepper. I returned the whole basket. The only thing I regret - I should have left all the groceries. I got my 5 bucks back. They lost a good paying customer. I do not think I can bring myself to go there again.

I am coming here for few years and what struck me today is that field tomatoes, very highly priced, are actually from boxes and labels are meticulously removed by employees. Very disappointed. This should be disclaimed for products that are coming from storage. The price need to be adjusted accordingly. My trust for this martlet is damaged as I no longer know what other products of the same quality.

omg i just got home from # 19th ave farmers market. i called 1st to see if them had what i need and was told they did only to get there and they would not sell it the way i needed. as i'm leaving the cashier comes out and tell the employee to keep a eye on that woman ,she was talking like i was got to steal 2 plants of which they had about 20 skids of ,she has a mouth on her this was my 1st time there and my last

For many years I have been a loyal customer at the 19th Ave Farmers Market and enjoyed purchasing fresh vegetables. This year's visit was very concerning. Upon paying for my goods, I received a quote with a difference of price of only .50 cents. This could have been a simple miscommunication between the hard working migrant worker and the aggressive cashier. It was a scene for all to watch as an employee not only becomes irate towards the staff, yelled at me, but then blames Kathleen Wynne for the minimum wage increase thus the reason overall prices went up! This was truly undue stress on a senior who know feels in fear of ever going back! I wish this owners daughter the best in her future endeavours and perhaps education for mannerism, customer service, and anger management would be of great service to you.
