Year round on a Wednesday, there is a Farmer’s Market offering locally grown produce and handcrafted furniture.
Buy Local, Buy Fresh...in Chatham-Kent
During the summer, we offer a bountiful supply of locally grown fruits and vegetables. Our buy local buy fresh map serves as a guide to the location of fruit and vegetable stands and farmer's markets throughout Chatham-Kent. You can also search CK Directory for Farm Markets.
You will likely see many roadside fruit and vegetable stands as you drive around Chatham-Kent. If the farmer is not at the stand, all produce will be clearly priced and an honour system will be in operation - so please place your money in the steel box provided.
Interested in growing your own produce? Call United Way of Chatham-Kent to learn about the community gardens program.
Food Banks & Soup Kitchens
In case of an emergency, or in the event of job loss or other extenuating circumstances, food bank services and soup kitchens are available to help. In order to access these services, most food banks will ask for photo identification and a bank statement and you may also be interviewed.
