Below I've started a collection of Canadian newspaper and magazine articles with a focus on farmers' markets. I'm only including articles that discuss larger trends and multiple markets.

A flood of farmers’ markets
by Diane Peters
August 22, 2008 - National Post
Excerpt: "TORONTO • Light rain begins to patter on the high metal roof over the Brick Works Farmers' Market. The cavernous space dotted with market stands is suddenly flush with customers who have dashed in from the nature walk, face painting table and cob-making workshop. The crowd is almost elbow-to-elbow, but not quite. There are lineups - well, short ones - to check out the organic meat, nab a bag of sprouts and wait for a bowl of spicy hot chic peas."
