Ottawa Market

Written By Guest User

Ottawa Market, a new brick-and-mortar market and cafe, opened its doors in Hamilton, Ontario at the end of August. The market promotes locally grown foods within 100km of the market and sustainable, ethical farming practices in the Hamilton community. During the pandemic, they adjusted to focus on online delivery and expanded their customer base, ensuring that Hamiltonians continued to access fresh, healthy food even during the lockdown. They envision a city with a robust local economy and thriving local businesses surrounded by flourishing family farms.
