The PRFM operates year-round, offering customers a variety of products from local artisans and farm products from third-party verified farmers and food prepared by local chefs and restaurants.

“Produce is so abundant at this time of year, especially greens and root vegetables. We are excited to continue offering local food at this time of year along with so many other amazing farmers at the market,” said Erin Bodashefsky of Foragers Farm.

The dining area and kids zone return to the indoor market space so families can bring their young ones to play in the space and enjoy a coffee, snack or lunch.

The market space is located on the lower level of the mall beside Princess Gardens retirement home.

“I love moving indoors to this space because it is so bright and friendly and not only a place to get amazing local products, but also a community hub to chat with friends and other vendors,” says Jillian Marshall of Bittersweet Botanicals. 

Underground mall parking (entrance off Charlotte Street, East of Water Street) is free every Saturday and City street parking surrounding Peterborough Square is also free of charge.
