Now, I've…read morenever been to their actual location, but have heard only great things (especially about their haunted corn maze in October!!). I have, however, been a fairly regular customer at their Seaport stall. The produce, although not an amazing variety this time of year, is always fresh, looks (and tastes) appealing and staff are very helpful. They always have a large selection of different apples and often have different variety bags on sale for a great price. We really enjoy stopping by their stall to grab some fresh produce, sample an apple and have a little chat. Friendly people and a great local farm!

Not only will you find locally grown, seasonal produce, you'll also find delicious homemade breads, pies and condiments. Obviously, the best time of year to shop there is in the summer when produce is spectacular, but even in the winter you'll be impressed.

Is it possible to be a produce nerd? I'm not a vegetarian, though I do love my fresh fruit and…read morevegetables, and I do get pretty excited when faced with rows, bales, and baskets of tomatoes, carrots, and pears (oh my!), and other glistening and/or juicy and/or just plain delicious foods. Oh well, there are worse addictions to have. At least this one will help me keep my girlish figure... Avery's is my favourite place to shop for local produce, with the possible exception of the Brewery Market downtown. Their wares are always fresh and tasty (significantly more so than at one of the chain grocery stores I would say, but maybe I'm a produce snob too...) and they provide a great deal of variety. Prices tend to be fairly inexpensive too. Aside from the fruits and veggies, they also sell many other items. Their homemade fudge and baking are excellent (though not so good for the girlish figure...). As well, they offer a selection of snack foods, such as nuts and candies, which they package themselves, and an ice cream counter during the lazy days of Summer, when you need a scoop of something cold and sweet to cool you down. Also available are gardening supplies and a few rows of items you would find at a typical convenience store (cans of soup, toilet paper, over the counter pain medication, etc.). They even have a freezer with your basic kinds of meat and some frozen berries. Oh, and they rent movies, if you want something to watch while you munch on your homemade fudge and ice cream...I mean carrots and broccoli and other healthy treats...

It was sunny, Saturday and we had nothing to do. So we packed up the baby and went to River Breeze…read moreFarm Market to experience their Corn Maze (Or Maize as they wrote it[clever]). The farm was relatively easy to find, and had a fair amount of things you could do. Once there in the gravel parking lot there were two parking directors one for the upper lot and one for lower. You did not however have a choice of wanting upper or lower, they just showed you the nearest free spot. Down to the ticket booth. $8.70 +tax per person, so $10 each, and free under 4yrs. with this you got a bracelet a map and a "maize-opoly" card. The maze itself was very fun we followed the map found our maize-opoly spots due to in accuracy of the map however we did manage to get lost a few times whch was the only real downfall. The ground does get quite slick and you will fall(at least it was when i was there) and isn't the best place for a stroller either. But despite getting lost and being very thirsty the maze itself was 1 1/2 hrs of fun, I highly suggest bringing water! The other fun offered was a inflatable bouncy pillow for kids that was only supervised by parents, it had no limit on the amount of children allowed on at once, no protection for the younger children getting plowed over by much older and rougher kids. With experience in working with inflatable bouncing castles This is not safe! Besides the pillow there was a petting zoo consisting of 2 goats and 15 or so ducks. A rope maze, a haystack tunnel running a few meters, and a large slide. This was all completed with a pumpkin U-Pick $4 per pumpkin. There was also a canteen of food and drinks and like expected very expensive. This was a fun afternoon activity and I do really suggest packing some food(or having a lot of money) and water and giving it a go, its great fun for kids and good exercise for everyone involved. Just be careful on the bone breaking pillow!

You can buy their fantastic cranberries - dried, fresh, frozen and juices too at most grocery…read morestores these days, but the real fun is a visit to the farm out near Lunenburg. It's especially fun if you go in August or September when you can pick your own berries and take them home. And no, it's not quite like the cranberry commercial where the guys are wearing hip boots, the U-pick portion of their acreage is dry. That said, David and his crew will be glad to show you around and explain how cranberries are usually picked, how they flood the rows and rows of bushes so that the ripe berries will float and the way-cool machines that scoop them up. It's a fun expedition and the rewards are awesome. In fact, even now, in dead of winter, I relive the experience whenever I pick up a bag of their dried cranberries for making muffins, pies...
