Picking up fruit and purchasing art - it’s a combination soon to be available to shoppers in Smiths Falls, Ont.

The town will soon be home to the region’s newest farmers' market, located on Maple Avenue off of Main Street.

"Rather than being in a basement or a shed out the back, they can actually come work, create, and also sell and meet their customers," Adams said."I wanted to be able to create a vision where people can come and create anything they want anytime they want.""We've got a portrait artist already, we also have a person who does vases and we have jewellery," Adams noted."We also have another gentleman, he does watercolour and he also does upcycling.

"The farmers' market goes hand in hand with the artisans, so people can grow and show what they have, and also tour the Artisan Village at the same time," Adams said. "There is no board, it takes less time to set up, there's less bureaucracy I guess in order to facilitate it," she said."He can choose who he wants to come in, he can negotiate with them, there isn't formal board meetings, so having this type of investment is really positive and gets this off the ground much, much quicker."

Mike Adams walks with Julia Crowder from the Town of Smiths Falls and his father Brian at the Artisans Village at the Falls in Smiths Falls. "Coming from other communities, especially in Muskoka where we are seeing these other open-air markets, it was really something that was lacking in Smiths Falls, so the idea was really great and I wanted to do whatever we could to help support that and see new investment in the community," Crowder said.
