Little Italy Farmers’ Market shuts down

The Little Italy Farmers’ Market has been cancelled by the Preston Street BIA after two years of offering fresh farm goods through spring and summer.

Not enough farmers set up shop last year, says Lori Mellor, executive director of the Preston Street BIA. Competition from two other local markets also contributed to the decision to halt the market.

The announcement comes after Mellor told Centretown News, following last year’s market, that it would return for another year.
