The Cobourg Farmers Market has a rich history dating back to 1839, making it one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the province. The market has evolved over time, but our commitment to supporting local farmers, artisans, and the community has remained strong. Today, it’s a thriving destination for fresh produce, artisanal goods, and community connection.
The Cobourg Farmers Market offers locally grown and certified organic produce, crafts, flowers, plants, cheese, farm fresh meats, breads, pastries, and other delectables.
