Neighbourhood Markets and Food Tours

All tours are anchored in either a neighbourhood market or a market district, and literally walk residents and visitors through a curated experience that highlights food and cultural assets in the community.

We're offering 7 tours this year! Space is limited to 25 people for each tour and a $5 registration through Eventbrite is required to secure your spot. These tours are valued at $68-100 per person but made accessible thanks to the support of the City of Toronto’s Economic Development and Culture Division.

Toronto's Market: How to Food Shop in Kensington

Saturday, June 13th, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Kensington Market is one of North America’s last open air food markets: a dense hub of produce vendors, spice shops, butchers, and specialty dry goods. This is the place to get rare and quality ingredients. Your guide from the Kensington Market Community Land Trust (KMCLT) will share tips and tricks for affordable, sustainable, and community-minded shopping.

You’ll meet local vendors, explore seasonal selections, and learn how these small businesses help keep food accessible while resisting the dominance of big-box grocery retailers. Discover connections between local food systems, economic resilience, cultural preservation and community.

This walking tour will highlight raw-food businesses that anchor Kensington Market's communities and illustrate how the KMCLT is working to protect these small businesses from rising commercial rents. Come see where chefs in Toronto source their ingredients!
