The tradition of Fall Fairs is one we love from the bottom of our hearts. An opportunity to gather with friends and neighbours to celebrate the culmination of a season of hard work, fresh flavours, and a little fun too.
We also happen to enjoy a little spooky season sprinkled in...so let us introduce you to PumpkinFest at the Horton Farmers' Market!

Come to shop with your favourite farmers and purveyors of handmade magic and haunt a few pop-ups, joining in to add some festive flair!
PumpkinFest remains a producer-based market, meaning that the overwhelming majority of what vendors sell must be items that are made or grown by them. We also continue to keep it local.
