About the Market

Think Turtle will be joining an eclectic and talented group of local growers, artists, designers, craftspeople, and vendors. The market offers a welcoming space filled with fresh produce, homemade baking, and thoughtfully crafted goods, all grounded in a shared appreciation for community and the natural world. It is a chance to connect, learn, and support those who are working close to the land.

Think Turtle Merchandise

Our merchandise is purpose-driven, designed to raise awareness and spark conversations for turtle conservation. Items such as t-shirts, signs, magnets, stickers, jewelry, and more highlight the message that small choices can make a meaningful difference.

When you visit, take a moment to learn about turtle conservation in our region and how small, simple actions can make a real difference as turtles begin to emerge this spring. You can also browse conservation-themed items that help support ongoing education and protection efforts.

These items are not just products, but reminders of our shared responsibility to care for the landscapes and waterways that turtles call home.

Supporting Conservation

Proceeds from Think Turtle merchandise, after costs, directly support ongoing education initiatives, community outreach, and species recovery efforts led by the Think Turtle Conservation Initiative. Each purchase helps strengthen local stewardship and contributes to real, on-the-ground conservation work here in Ontario.

Crafting 4 Turtles Items

We will also have a selection of “Crafting 4 Turtles” handmade items available, including crocheted and knitted animal stuffies, greeting cards, beaded bracelets, sewn goods, and more. These pieces are created with care and generosity, and all proceeds support the treatment and rehabilitation of injured turtles at the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre during the busy turtle season.

We look forward to seeing you at the market.

Note: Think Turtle will be set up at the Bancroft Farmers' Market on select date through August - October, to be announced.
