Flesherton Market

Last week I was in Toronto – more about that in another post.  I went from there to Priceville on Friday evening.  It meant that I could go to the farmer’s market in Flesherton on Saturday morning – the first time this year that I’ve been.

It’s not big as markets go but I like it a lot.  I bought baby beets, strawberries – more about them on another post – cookies from Janice Grootendoorst – we call her the cookie lady, she makes amazing cookies, and banana and carrot bread – 2 separate breads- from Tanya Pisani.  Delicious.  Yet another reason to visit her in Maxwell.

And for something not food related … there’s always someone with free kittens.  There were two kittens this week and they were a bit older than usual.  They had to go in a carrier because they kept climbing out of the pen so they could explore.

The Flesherton Market runs from May to October on Saturday morning.

There are a lot of markets in Grey County and in Bruce County.  You can find a farmers’ market near you at the Grey Bruce Foodlink site.  An excellent site.
