Embrace summer and buying local at the farmers’ markets in Sherbrooke and Lennoxville

Located just a stone's throw from Lac des Nations, this market is much more than a place to shop: it's a lively meeting place where you can sample the best Sherbrooke has to offer.

A lively market to discover all summer long

From June to October, the market’s outdoor space comes alive every week with an impressive diversity of producers and artisans. You'll find the smell of warm bread, the taste of fresh strawberries and the chance to chat with producers who know their product inside out. Take your time and savour the sights as well as the tastes: you’ll be bringing home much more than a full basket.

The market also includes four indoor shops open year-round: a cheese shop, a butcher's shop, a café and a gelato store. Artisanal sausages and homegrown products are some of the staples sold there. Make the most of your visit: you might not find these one-of-a-kind items anywhere else!

The Lennoxville Public Market: an experience for the whole family

In Lennoxville, the public market is much more than just a gourmet stop: it's a place to meet people and make discoveries, bustling all summer long with a rich program of activities and events. People come here to fill their baskets with fresh produce, but also to enjoy the background music or simply have a good time with their families. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to passionate producers who generously share their expertise. It’s a weekly gathering where the pleasure of buying local blends with the joy of nurturing community ties.

Eating better, and mindfully

Choosing to shop at the farmers’ market is a way to choose proximity. What you find there comes from the region. What you eat there has been picked or prepared by locals. By choosing these products, you directly encourage the local food production by favouring farm-to-table ingredients and consuming more consciously. When it's all there, within easy reach, and tastes just right, buying local makes perfect sense.

A special, easy-going kind of atmosphere

These farmers' markets are known for their welcoming nature. They are all about celebrating summer, meetings between people and honest-to-goodness. In between shopping, you can stop for a coffee, watch a cooking demonstration or just enjoy the moment. Whether you're from the area or just passing through on vacation, these are places that make you want to come back – and you can be sure it will be a pleasure every time!
