Dunnville Farmers' Market

8 min drive from MoonLake Cottage
Sat 7am–12pm | Tue 2pm–7pm | April–December

The Dunnville Farmers' Market is one of the oldest and most beloved community institutions in Haldimand County, with roots going back to 1860. Held on the banks of the Grand River in the heart of Dunnville, it's the kind of market that reminds you why buying local matters — and why small-town Ontario has a charm that's hard to find anywhere else.

Every Saturday morning from 7am to noon (and Tuesdays 2pm to 7pm), local farmers, bakers, artisans, and food producers set up stalls in and around the beautiful market building. You'll find seasonal fresh produce, farm eggs, homemade jams and preserves, artisan bread, local honey, handmade crafts, and much more.

For cottage guests at MoonLake Cottage, the Saturday morning market is a perfect way to stock up on fresh local food for the week. Pick up ingredients for a lakeside BBQ, grab some fresh-baked pastries for breakfast, or simply wander and soak up the friendly small-town atmosphere.

The market runs from April through December, with a special Christmas market in the holiday season. It's located at 120 Market Street in Dunnville, just 8 minutes from Port Maitland — a short and scenic drive along the Grand River.
