Peterborough Regional Farmers Market moving indoors for the winter

The Peterborough Regional Farmers Market, which has been operating all summer at the plaza in front of Citi Centre will continue to operate through the winter inside Peterborough Square.

In a release, market manager Peter Hughes says the vendors will move into the space formerly occupied by the public library on the lower level of the mall.

Hughes adds all the vendors are verified, selling only what they have grown, raised or produced and says the successful children’s area will move into the new space along with the craft and food vendors.

In one sense, the market is returning to its roots as the area beside Market Hall was for many years a farmers market.

Cheryl McQueen, Peterborough Square Manager, is pleased to support the market.

“The owners of the mall are totally committed to welcoming the Farmers’ Market to their building,” she said. “They see it is a return to the roots of the Farmers’ Market in Peterborough.”

The original Farmers’ Market in Peterborough was held onsite in the Market Hall.

The Peterborough Regional Farmers Market will continue at its summer home at Citi Centre until the end of October and then move to Peterborough Square for its winter location.

“I am thrilled to have the Farmers’ Market become a downtown four-season adventure because Farmers’ Markets belong in the downtown of every city and should be year round,” stated Terry Guiel, executive director of the Downtown Business Improvement Area.
