Best Local Markets in Mississauga

Posted June 20, 2017 | by Compten Management Inc.

Mississauga residents: Have you found your 'go-to' butcher or farmers market yet?

It's barbeque season! When you grill, it always tastes better when you use quality meat and fresh vegetables. A butcher shop is the best place to find freshly cut meats or meat that is cut specifically for your needs and shopping for veggies locally helps our community and ultimately, our local farmers.

So if you're shopping for your dinner fixings in Mississauga, Compten Management Inc. suggests trying one of our local butcher shops and farmers' markets.
 

Why shop at a butcher?

A butcher is your best asset in the kitchen. The butcher will be able to tell you where the meat came from and how best to cook it. You can count on their quality and rely on their advice. Butchers provide personal service and healthier, more cost-effective meats.

Our go-to butchers in Mississauga:

Elmwood Meat Market at 170 Lakeshore Road East

The Apple Market at 2281 Camilla Road

Not Just Steaks at 49 Mississauga Road North

Royal Meats at 3635 Cawthra Road
 

Why shop at a farmers' market?

Just like your butcher, farmers are great allies in the kitchen. At the market, you can learn the best ways to store your fresh fruits and vegetables, how to properly cook them, and even what to pair them with. Most markets are open seasonally from June to October; however, the Mississauga Flea Market is open year-round on weekends 9am to 5pm.
