Get into the Fall Harvest – Markets Within 10 Minutes of Osgoode Neighbourhoods

  |     |   Community, Edmonton, Gatineau, Kingston, Ottawa

Fall is harvest season. Crops are ready to be picked!

Leaf lettuce, spinach, mustard, arugula, cress, sorrel, and kale make good fall crops, as do pumpkins, squash, beets, carrots, radishes, and turnips. The best place to access good fall harvest crops? We’re big fans of local markets – and you’ll be sure to have a gourd time!

Farmers markets are a lot of fun. There’s no rush. People are there to discover great food and connect with the farmers and artists. Public markets give local residents access to delicious fresh, locally grown food, and local artisans a space to share their craft. Overall, they bring vibrancy and health to the entire community. They often become the centre of a neighbourhood, instilling pride in the community.

Take advantage of the fall harvest and check out some of the local markets in Osgoode Properties neighbourhoods.

Ottawa

There’s no shortage of markets in Ottawa. Farmers’ Markets Ontario alone lists eight venues, from the downtown ByWard Market and the Lansdowne Park Market to the more seasonal markets. The Westboro Market is a quick 6 minutes away for anyone in our Ottawa West neighbourhoods and the Beechwood Market has our Ottawa East neighbourhoods covered – you can hop over in about 5 minutes. While the market in Westboro will stay open until the end of October to bring you the bountiful harvests from local producers as well as a variety of products from artisans, Beechwood has the option to shop local all year long by offering hundreds of products online. For Ottawa South, the Alta Vista Market popped up in 2022 and similar to Beechwood Market – they both have an onsite market as well as an online market.
