Stumbled across this busy farmers market when I was in Cote des Neiges. I was immediately drawn in…read moreand had to see what all the rush was about. There is a mix of produce, from what you can find in the supermarkets (same packaging etc) to a lot of produce from local farms which was lovely to see. Great selection of berries and tomatoes... super large tomatoes on the vine that looked divine! For me, what stood out the most was the large selection of local honey - I have found it difficult to find this in shops/supermarkets but this market has a good variety of honey from different flowers and farms. I also noticed that the market is open until late, ideal for students and locals in the area!

The Jean-Talon Market is a must visit when in Montreal. Popular with locals and visitors, there's…read moresomething fresh and delicious for all taste buds. Variety: 10/10 Meat, cheeses, coffee, treats and a plethora of amazingly fresh produce. Everything we ate was amazingly delicious ... The plump, juicy strawberries, the ooey-gooey paninis, the sausage sandwiches ... I could go on. Selection: 10/10 Not only do you get variety but you get the best of the best. Service: 10/10 Everyone was super friendly. There's a ton of folks but the crowd and vendors were cordial and it felt like a community supporting each other.

we showed up around 4:30 pm, fairly close to closing time, so the market had a noticeably more…read morerelaxed feel than it probably does earlier in the day. there were still plenty of people wandering through the covered aisles, browsing the colourful displays and making their final purchases. the covered section has long rows of produce stalls tucked beneath the concrete arches, with vendors on both sides displaying piles of fruits and vegetables. crates overflow with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, onions, potatoes and other seasonal produce, while huge bunches of braided garlic hang overhead, adding even more character to the space. even late in the afternoon, the colours and abundance were impressive. vendors were still proudly displaying their produce, although you could definitely sense the market winding down for the day. we picked up strawberries, blueberries and some adorable little physalis, still tucked inside their papery, lantern like husks. everything looked fresh, colourful and reasonably priced. and after all that browsing, we found a little table to sit and enjoy our berries right there at the market. honestly, not a bad way to end a market visit. tip: if you want the full jean talon experience and the widest selection, i'd go earlier in the day. arriving around 4:30 pm worked well for us because it was less hectic, but some vendors were already getting ready to wrap up.

You can visit their creamery, but I had a chance to visit their Jean-Talon Market location - the cheese with the green label refers to the milk of the animals grazing in the mountain pastures during the growing season; the label that has a snow-covered landscape refers that the milk is from the animals that were fed on hay during the winter months. All the cheeses are aged for 2-4 months in the creamery's underground cave and comes with a natural rind; pressed cheeses, blue vein cheeses, fresh, cheeses, brined cheeses, soft rind cheeses, and even other dairy products (such as yogurts, sheep's milk, and cream) are offered. I thought the cheeses were rich and creamy with a subtle hint of acidity from the sheep's milk - they're pretty delicious, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a version that you'll like! If you're in the market to purchase some sheep, they also have ewes and rams for sale (Canadian Livestock Records Corporation-registered); they also have woollen knit socks, comforters, pillows, berets, and even raw fleece for customized spinning/dye-ing. +fromagerie located in the Jean-Talon market +cow & ewe's milk semi-firm cheeses :D +located across the gelato place

Since arriving in Montréal, I've been on the hunt for some milk from grass-fed animals. Cows, goats, buffalo, sheep - just give me milk from some kind of ruminant that eats grass instead of grain. Thanks to La Moutonnière, I've found it. From professed 100% Happy Sheep, La Moutonnière makes and sells milk, butter, and several types of cultured cheeses and yogurts, all from grass-and-hay fed sheep on their farm in Quebec. I tried their dairy products for the first time this week and am very impressed. Of course it's a bit more expensive than your industrial Québon/Kraft Foods versions but you know what you're getting in this case. La Moutonnière also sells wool, soap, and very reasonably priced lamb meat (I'm guessing those particular lambs aren't 100% happy sheep). The staff are wonderful too - I asked for sheep butter today and was told they were out. About five minutes later, they sought me out in a completely different section of the market to let me know they'd located some butter for me. A great first impression. Find them at the southeast corner of the Marché Jean-Talon, just across from Qui Lait Cru.

In addition to their greenhouse grown fresh vegetables, they sell locally sourced produce (with no pesticides), prepared food and household products.

As a bonus, the food is much fresher and I feel good about supporting the local economy.

We got big green grapes that were quite pricey, nearly $20 USD but they were just grapes, they were more juicy though. There are also a few places to eat, we ended up at a bakery cafe at the end upstairs. They had different sandwiches and focaccia similar to a pizza type. They heat these up so it was perfect to eat right away. *Warning* There was a an issue of not being labeled nut and asking the worker if there was any and they said no but after confirming with the cook there was walnut in the bread. So I would be extra careful about that. Other than that they had foie gras for sale as well as many other places that had it as well. There were a few grocery stores and butcher shops so there is a lot to choose from if you are looking for different types. There were a few dessert places but the place isn't too big with more variety for grocery food items.
