Looking to be part of the Farmers’ Market partnership in 2024?
Farmers’ Markets Ontario (FMO) is the provincially recognized organization representing over 180 markets throughout Ontario. In 2019, 4-H Ontario began exploring ways to increase community involvement and connection, and we moved forward by partnering with FMO to give youth a unique opportunity to connect with their food, farmers and communities across the province. There are so many exciting and engaging ways to work with your local market this summer!
Partnership Ideas:
Brainstorm with your club or market to see what an FMO partnership could look like in your area!
Resources:
In partnership with Farmers’ Markets Ontario, 4-H Ontario has developed a toolkit as a resource to connect local 4-H clubs and farmers’ markets. The toolkit provides resources for 4-H clubs, market managers, boards and municipalities on how to connect with a market, requirements for participation and ideas for your involvement in a market. It also includes fee subsidy programs and other valuable resources.
Wondering if a market near you is part of Farmers’ Markets Ontario? Visit the FMO website and use their ‘Find a Market‘ tool to find out today!
Visit the interest form to get started! 4-H Ontario will provide you with a tent for the market and will assist you in obtaining marketing materials and other resources you may need.

The Co-operative Young Leaders camp is a unique summer camp for ages 13-18. CYL is led by experienced CYL volunteers and educators in the co-operative sector. This camp is part traditional camp experience and part experiential education. The program takes youth out of the classroom environment and lets them lead. All participants will experience a week dedicated to all things co-operative including games and activities while also enjoying camp fires, swimming and connecting with their peers from all over Ontario.
