The Canton Farmers Market, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturdays through Oct. 15, has been a community staple for years. Local growers, gardeners and food vendors sell vibrant produce and fresh baked goods at the market, which fosters a sense of community by bringing us together for something we all enjoy: food! Mayor Bill Grant, who is often at the market, shared some of the photos from his collection. “As a foodie, I love exploring the market and talking to the farmers and makers to learn more about their products, how to use them and how they grow or create them. I find this connection to our place very important, more so every year,” he said. Check out these photos to see if you recognize any of your neighbors at the market through the years.
