Strawberry season!!!
Yesterday, Karl & I went out to Herrle’s Country Farm Market, located just outside of Waterloo for our first instalment of fresh fruit picking this season. MMmmm they are delish! I’m also pretty sure we left the place a few pounds heavier ;)
THEN, we stopped by Seven Shores Urban Market and Cafe (Uptown Waterloo) this afternoon and picked up some locally grown tomatoes, asparagus, garlic and hot peppers. I’m itching to make dinner tonight with all of our fabulous finds.
Does anyone else have a favourite market/locally grown venue I should know about?

There is a local food buying club called Bailey’s Local foods.

If you haven’t heard about them you should check them out.

Highly recommended if you like a continuous supply of local veg. Caitlin is and awesome, trustworthy source of food to say the least. I think the annual share price is $620 or so. That entitles you to a weekly basket of fruits/veg – way more than our family of 5 can keep up with in the bountiful weeks of the late summer.
They have a local table here in Elora saturday mornings which is our morning routine but I hear they have a weekly drop off in Waterloo this year too.
Wow, what an awesome resource! Thanks so much for sharing Jim!!
