Taste of the Valley 

Celebrating all things grown and created in Renfrew County!

Experience the best of local food, artisans, and community markets at Taste of the Valley! Started in 2007, the Taste of the Valley markets celebrate the rich flavours and many talents of the Ottawa Valley, bringing together farmers, producers, artisans and creators from across the region. Whether you're looking for fresh produce, handcrafted goods, or unique artisan products, you'll find something special at every market.

Throughout the years, Taste of the Valley has hosted multiple events in communities across Renfrew County. Each market offers a diverse selection of vendors, featuring everything from farm-fresh meats and vegetables to freshly baked treats, handmade crafts, and locally produced honey and maple syrups. These events celebrate local entrepreneurship and are a great opportunity to support small businesses while enjoying our region's culture.

What to expect at a Taste of the Valley event? 

Visitors can expect a wide range of offerings, including locally grown in-season produce, farm-raised meats, locally made preserves, frozen take-home meals, fresh baked goods and hot, ready-to-eat food on site. Plus, since Renfrew County culture is more than just food, you can also browse handmade crafts, art, jewelry, woodworking and specialty items. Shop knowing that all the vendors are local to the Ottawa Valley, and you'll support the local economy while enjoying a fun shopping experience. 

Join us in supporting local businesses, discovering new vendors, and connecting with the vibrant artisanal spirit of the Valley. Check out our upcoming events and be part of this Valley tradition!
