This is what real food is all about – fresh, honest and straight from the source. Meet the farmers and crafters at the historic Port Hope Farmers Market on Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons, and stock up!

Visit the Osland Family Farm Market
The Oslands know their farming! The family has been farming since 1900, working the land with care and raising the quality beef and lamb that's become so popular at their farm gate market. You'll also find a rainbow of produce.
“It's hard work and takes a lot of planning. We have 80 acres of a mixed farm where we grow only what we use or sell,” says Cindy Osland. “I have ladies in their 70s coming to the farm for steak and asking me how to cook it. You take a cast iron pan, start it on the stovetop and then into the oven. Best steak you've ever eaten.”
