Much in the same way we go to the Milton Farmers’ Market to discover fantastic farm and food vendors, so too do we want to get to know the world of crafters and community organizations. Lucky for us, Milton is full of some great ones.
In this companion piece to Milton Farmers’ Market: 2025 Guide to 51 Farm & Food Vendors, we’ll explore 35 craft and not-for-profit vendors.
Centre for Skills Development
Calling all newcomers to Canada (and Milton) and those looking to upgrade their skills, the Centre for Skills Development is what you need. They have employment specialists, pre-apprenticeship training, workshops, and events to help you enhance your career success.
Community Development Halton
Helping to ensure the social welfare of the community is integral to Halton. Community Development Halton promotes a high quality of life through research, planning, and encouraging volunteerism. They are always looking for donations and more volunteers to help continue to make Halton a vibrant community to live in.
Dazzling Candles
A family-owned business that serves all of Canada and the USA, but has humble beginnings in Milton. All of their candles are handcrafted from 100% natural soy wax. Each candle includes the sensory-pleasing wooden wick for cleaner burning, while leaving you feeling cozy inside. They have a variety of delicious scents and themes, which one will you go home with?
Distress Centre Halton
Distress Centre Halton is here to help you when you’re dealing with a crisis, loneliness, or emotional stress. They offer multiple supports: their Distress Line, where you can call and talk to someone for emotional support. Next is TeleCheck, their outbound call program that checks on isolated seniors, people who struggle with mental health, post-secondary students at school, and more. They are also available for speaking engagements.
ElderDog Canada

Farley Foundation
If you’d love the companionship of a pet, but worry about the vet expenses, check out the Farley Foundation. Helping those in need, the Farley Foundation subsidizes the cost of non-elective veterinary care. Those who recognize the name Farley may be familiar with the beloved Canadian comic, For Better or For Worse and cartoonist Lynn Johnston, without whom this foundation wouldn’t exist. Not sure if you qualify? Check them out at the market or their website.
Fine Arts Society of Milton (FSAM)
The Fine Arts Society of Milton (FASM) is a non-profit, membership-based arts organization. While its roots are in Milton, its members go beyond those borders to include Mississauga and Hamilton. Members cover a variety of art mediums, such as painters, metal artists, sculptors, authors, potters, and more. You can find more about their exhibitions, shows, and workshops on their website. Or maybe you’d even like to become a member yourself?

Halal Soap Shop & Minis
