 On November 18, 2024, Craig Bannerman and Chuck Maloney of The Galley 519 officially worked their first Saturday at the Horton Farmers’ Market. With unique sandwiches that change weekly to Saturday morning milk and pressed juices, The Galley 519 aims to do things differently. “I want it to be different, and I know that may freak people out,” Craig said with a laugh. “From a culinary perspective, everyone has the same thing; you just need to do it differently.”

 St. Thomas was awarded the designation of Bee City last year and we are thrilled to be officially celebrating our first Pollinator Week June 17-23 with that honour! Market Day on June 22 will include some incredible special guests and activities, exciting limited edition menu options, and just an all round awesome way to spend a Saturday morning.
This designation recognizes the city's commitment to protecting and promoting pollinator species. This designation is a testament to the city's efforts to create a sustainable environment for native pollinators.  The Horton Farmers' Market may be a heritage farmers' market, but we are not shying away from new ideas this season! We love how passionate folks are about the market and their desire to visit us as part of their week. We understand that Saturdays may only work for some, and while those aren't going anywhere, this year, the time has come for an expansion!
If you need more market in your week, work weekends, or just like a solid sleep-in on Saturday mornings, we're pleased to introduce Midweek Market evenings this summer!  Eight years ago, tucked away in a little storefront in Port Stanley, Carly of Turtle + Bird Co made her first ceramic pieces, unknowingly planting the roots of a new pottery small business. Initially selling houseplants and hammocks, Carly first started making homemade plant pots. Then, the pottery took over, becoming more popular than the houseplants, so she left her little storefront behind and started making pottery full time from her home studio in the Village of Sparta.
 Located in the quaint Village of Sparta, Wade and Vera Davey of Quaker Springs Farm raise small herds of heritage breed pigs and free range poultry in the fresh country air and sunshine.
 Nestled among rolling hills and lush green pastures, a typical gravel farm drive appears; B & C Farms stands at the end, humble and wholesome. This charming farm, complete with a back lane leading deeper into the property, is marked by the exact type of archway you'd anticipate on a ranch and is home to much more than meets the eye.
 We LOVE a beautiful #HortonMarketHaul photo, but occasionally we have the opportunity to capture one in the wild and when we snapped the photo above a few years ago of a stunning heritage basket, it wasn't long before we received the whole story from a long time Horton Market Regular. So in his own words, Neil Hubert shares the story about his market basket!
