As we wrap up another wonderful season at the Horton Farmers' Market, we want to extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our farmers, makers, bakers, and artisans throughout our 2025 season. Your commitment to shopping local is what keeps our market vibrant, our vendors thriving, and our community connected. 

A quick reminder as we head into the holidays:
🎄The market will be closed on Saturday December 27, 2025. 
✨We'll reopen on January 3, 2026, to kick off another year full of local goodness. 

Thank you for being a part of our market family, for showing up week after week, and for making the 2025 season one to remember. We can't wait to welcome you back in 2026 with new harvests, returning favourites, and the same incredible community spirit! 

Wishing you a warm, restful holiday season and a joyful start to the new year! 

The holidays have a way of sneaking up on all of us. One moment it's the first snowfall, and the next you're only a week or two away from Christmas with a gift list that still needs crossing off. But here's the good news: some of the most meaningful gifts aren't found online or lost in delivery dates - they're found close to home, crafted by the hands of your neighbours and community members - and can be found right here at Horton.

There’s something about December that invites us to slow down.
Maybe it’s the cold air slipping under our collars.
Maybe it’s the glow of lights against early evenings.
Or maybe it’s the quiet reminder that the most meaningful moments often come in small, thoughtful packages.

When the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, it's tempting to assume that farmers' market season has come to an end. But at year-round markets like the Horton Farmers' Market, winter is not the end - it's simply a new season. In fact, winter might be one of the best times to stay connected with your local farmers, bakers, and makers. It's also one of the most meaningful times to keep up your market routine for your own well-being. 

Here's why visiting the market doesn't have to - and shouldn't - stop with the arrival of winter.
