When people come to the Elora Farmers’ Market, they not only find great local foods, treats and artisanal products, they find each other too! Our market is a true community hub and our customers’ energy is what makes the market so special. Traditionally, the market operates from May to December each year. Beginning the first weekend in May, we are located alongside the beautiful Grand River in Bissell Park in Elora. The market has grown, thriving and changing with time, but our vision remains the same: a true farmers’ market, one where every Saturday people can find local, sustainably grown produce, meats, cheeses, delicious baking and preserves and artisanal crafts in a vibrant space.

PLEASE NOTE: SATURDAY AUGUST 17th - THE MARKET WILL BE AT AN ALTERNATE LOCATION.  PLEASE VISIT www.elorafarmersmarket.ca for more details

We are happy to open our doors to the public once again for our 15th annual Shearing Open House. A Shearing Open House is what first attracted us to Alpacas almost 20 years ago, and we want to continue making this amazing experience available for everyone to witness. This year we will be featuring a charity BBQ run by the Belwood and District Lions Club. You can also visit our five day old chicks, local artisans at our Mini Market and see the new cria (baby alpacas) born this spring.

The BBQ will run from 11-2pm each day, and we aim to start shearing each day at 10am and run until all of our alpacas are naked.

To ensure you can see us still shearing animals please make sure you come early; after 14 years we've gotten pretty efficient and we might be done before 4pm each day. If you have been to the farm before for a tour, this event is focused on shearing so there will not be any in-pasture visits with the animals nor will you be able to feed them. You will however, be able to see the whole process on how we shave the animals and check out the beautiful fibre they produce.

Please book ahead online (children under 5 are free) and your tickets are valid for any time during the day. We have picnic tables, or you can bring a blanket and enjoy the day!

On Newdon Industries Swim days, the Township will grant free admission to the first forty (40) children and youth who arrive at the admissions desk within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled start time of the swim.
