Under which condition can spirits be sold at a farmers' market in Ontario?

  1. If at least 30% of the container volume is local

  2. If at least 50% of the volume is made in Ontario

  3. If spirits are only sold on weekends

  4. If the market has a liquor license

The correct answer is: If at least 50% of the volume is made in Ontario

The sale of spirits at a farmers' market in Ontario can occur when at least 50% of the volume is made in the province. This regulation is designed to support local businesses and promote Ontario-made products. By requiring that a significant portion of the spirits sold meets this local production criterion, the framework encourages farmers' markets to showcase and sell local craft spirits, thus benefiting the local economy and ensuring that consumers can enjoy products that reflect the unique characteristics of the region. The other conditions mentioned are not applicable to the sale of spirits at farmers' markets in Ontario. For example, while local volume is important, a lower threshold of 30% would not satisfy the requirement for spirits. Similarly, there are no stipulations regarding weekends for sales in this context, nor is a general liquor license sufficient without meeting the specific local production volume requirement.
