There's no faster way to like Windsor more than a Saturday morning at the farmers market. Coffee in one hand, a tote bag filling up in the other — it's the cheapest good time in town, and you come home with dinner.
Peak season runs May through October. June strawberries and August corn are worth planning your Saturday around; winter markets still show up with squash, apples, root veg, honey and preserves.
Most Canada markets run Saturday mornings, with a growing number adding a midweek evening shift for the after-work crowd.
Expect the produce you'd hope for, plus the stuff that makes a market trip feel like an event: local honey, farm eggs, fresh flowers, sourdough, preserves, and at least one food truck you'll end up queuing at.
Buy what's in season and you'll eat better for less — strawberries in June are a different fruit than the clamshell ones in February.
Plan on Saturday mornings, roughly 8am to 1pm, though it varies by market. Midweek evening markets are catching on for people who can't do weekends — smaller crowds, same good stuff. Canada doesn't have one big federal directory, so the Dayfari app is honestly the faster way to see what's on this weekend.
Market days and hours change with the season — the Dayfari app keeps track of what's actually on around Windsor this weekend, plus other local events worth the trip.
