Get a ton of fresh, local produce

Located in the rolling hills of the Township of Potton, the Mansonville public market welcomes you every Saturday until Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There, you’ll discover a wide variety of fresh produce from local farms, such as meats, fish, cheeses, ready-to-eat meals, maple syrup as well as handicrafts. Stop by the market café to enjoy a cappuccino with a delicious pastry.
