Corbrook and Family Service Toronto in partnership with FoodShare, are holding ongoing Community Food Markets on the third Thursday of every month in Scarborough.
Where and when is the market?
The next market is Thursday, April 17 from 1pm-6pm at Corbrook and Community Living Toronto’s social enterprise The Social Brew: 1236 Birchmount Rd. – see flyer attached for details.
What is a Community Market? (formerly Good Food Market)
Community Markets sell high-quality, affordable fruits and vegetables. These markets bring healthy produce to neighbourhoods where it might not otherwise be available, and where farmers’ markets are not viable because sales are too low to cover costs.
The markets feature seasonal, local produce plus imported favourites in order to offer the greatest quality and cultural value to the neighbourhoods they serve.
Who can attend?
The market is open to everyone!
Corbrook and Family Service Toronto share a vision of building inclusive communities.
We envision our market serving as a gathering place for folks to connect, learn from each other, and thrive.
Why a Community Market?
Food markets can become amazing gathering places. The goal of a successful market is not making a profit, but the relationship between selling affordable produce and the ability of a market to be a gathering place that people want to hang out in.
