Our Mission
The Market will create an inviting destination and facilitate the delivery of fresh and local products to area residents and visitors, with an emphasis on benefits to health, community and the environment.

Values
The Market seeks to create a warm and inviting, country atmosphere to local residents and visitors, providing them the opportunity to access a diversity of fresh, local products developed in an environmentally responsible manner.

Welcome to the Johnson Farmers' Market Desbarats
A shopping experience that offers a wide variety of fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits, honey & honey products, maple syrup and maple syrup products, delicious baking, stone ground flour, alpaca yarns for knitters and weavers as well as socks, mitts, local meats and northern Ontario cheeses.

 In addition, quality solid wood indoor and outdoor furniture is available for sale or you can place that special order.

 The timber frame pavilion, thanks to FedNor and our local Mennonite community, adds to the country feeling.

 Come and visit the place where …
……“Freshness is measured in hours.”

The Johnson Farmers’ Market Desbarats provides much more than produce and products directly from our farms to the customers within a warm inviting country atmosphere. It is a meeting place for people who value fresh home grown produce and quality home products and who understand the value and importance of buying directly from the source. It is a celebration of what’s local - truly a great shopping experience.
