Broadway Market Farmers Market

By: Julie Iarocci (May 5, 2010)
I spent the first 19 years of my life 2 streets away from the Broadway Market. My parents had no vehicle so All of our produce/meat/bread was purchased daily from the various vendors.

What stands today is a mere shadow of what was many years ago. There were actual farmers in the rear parking area. Ducks, chickens and fresh produce prevailed.

There is very limited access to fresh now. The majority, if not all, produce purveyors purchase their goods from the Niagara Food Terminal. They don't grow. It's not their stuff however they lay claim and take credit. Also charge high prices.

The Specialty Shops adhere to an ethnicity that was not evident in the original growth of the Market. All in all, it's a nice place. But it's not as it used to be. Keep that in mind.
