Welcome to Market Square

Fresh produce at Homestead Marketplace

Closed for the season

INTRODUCING OUR NEW FARM STAND!

In July 2025, Homestead Marketplace introduced an exciting new permanent farm stand, called Market Square. We offer a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, available three days a week from Friday to Sunday, keeping your kitchen stocked with only the best locally grown produce. 

LOCALLY SOURCED, REGIONALLY PROUD

We’re proud to source the majority of our fresh produce from Ontario-based suppliers, with some seasonal items—like strawberries and blueberries—coming from trusted farms in Quebec. We prioritize working with regional growers to ensure quality, freshness, and support for Ontario/Canadian agriculture.

LOCAL VENDORS ARE WELCOME

Market Square welcomes local vendors interested in setting up a booth during Market Square business days. 
For any inquiries about seasonal or drop-in vendor opportunities, please don’t hesitate to reach out by email.

Location: Homestead Marketplace, 6 Douglas Road, Trenton, Quinte West

Dates: Open seasonally. July to September
