Their flowers…read moreare beautiful and reasonably priced, and we always make sure to stop there for Mother's Day, or if we're bringing flowers to someone at the nearby hospital, or for any other reason that we need flowers. They've also got some wonderful fruits and vegetables there, too! The best thing about Kenny's is the customer service. I mean, the shop is literally right next door to a big wholesale grocery store, but I would pick Kenny's over it any day because I know that they take care of you there.

There is not enough we can say about this farm…read more The Frasers are such nice people. Salt of the earth folks who work hard to keep us all fed with healthy produce. Their Honeycrisp variety of apple is sublime. It is a crunchy, sweet but slightly tart eating apple. We go through 10 pound bags like crazy. Their apple supply dwindles around November to early December. You can also pick up frozen blueberry and apple pies made by Mrs. Fraser. They produce cider and are showcasing a new carbonated rhubarb and strawberry fizzy drink. Our farmers deserve our thanks and praise.

It was a much better experience. We walked through the grounds, took a trailer tractor ride and picked 24/32 apples (I honestly don't remember) but it was a really fun experience and it was so nice to be in nature. After apple picking we ordered some hot apple cider and it tasted delicious. The orchard also has sunflower fields, and cornfields in addition to all of the apple trees. Would we return? Absolutely!!!

3.5*, rounded up because as a new business, I think they should be highlighted…read more I snuck into My Olive, dropped by during BuskerFest, with a crowd of older White people. Usually, I don't like being the only one in a specialty store because I don't want that much attention on me. The concept of My Olive is very similar to a store I visited in Victoria, BC called, Olive The Senses at Public Market on The Hudson, a rather small, but quaint indoor market. However, at Olive The Senses, I enjoyed my experience more because it was a larger space, spread over 2 different levels, and the staff, although they engaged me more, they weren't that "in my face", so I was able to browse/taste for a longer period. My Olive is a smaller store, in Port Credit, and although the staff was friendly, I felt a bit monitored at times. They are really nice people and I did feel as though they were truly passionate about their product! From what I remembered, I think some samples you can dispense directly from the cask, while some samples were already poured into a dispensing bottle with a spout. So at times, I forgot, and got the samples from the cask. Prices were inline with pricing at other olive oil tasting places, approx. $14/bottle. What I liked about the concept is that you're actually able to taste what you're buying, so there's no surprises!

As far as boutique stores go, these guys got it going on. I have a hard time making up my mind…read morewith not only olive oil blends but balsamic choices too. Its a nice little shop with so many gourmet flavors. It really gets your creativity in the kitchen fired up. So far my favorite is the garlic infused olive oil or the apple balsamic. Great product and great service. Some of the blends are very unique too. I find that these infused oils and vinegars really add a lot to the whole foodie experience and this is why these guys get 5 stars for delivering such an awesome food enhancement.

My review is similar to my Yelp experience. I bought a bottle of apple peach jam during my visit…read more I love a good road trip. I love driving, but the traffic on 400-series highways on the weekend can be brutal. Yesterday, I decided to go drop by Backed by Bees in Burlington. I was in Barrie. I left at 4 pm. Backed by Bees closes at 6 pm on Saturday. Am I crazy? That's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it for you. Yes! What time did I get there? 5:55 pm. OMG! I parked next to the main entrance. I probably made my own parking spot, but I was the only person there besides two other cars in the lot. My guess was that they were owned by staff members. I love the look of this business as you drive up the country road. It's yellow, bright, and modular. You simply can't miss it! I walked up the steps while admiring the plants and cute patio area. I heard voices. No, not in my head, from inside the store. I was happy. I opened the door and was greeted by two staff members. I was so relieved! I thanked them for being open and checked in with the nice woman. She let me know that I could choose two meads from the fridge: hopped and cherry. She was also kind to say that I could take my time browsing. Yay! I loved everything that I saw, from cheese and jams, to nicely crafted wooden boards for charcuterie boards. From pet food, to medium veggie bundles, you can find the coolest items for you or a gift for someone cool. I especially was enamoured by mason jar pump caps. Brilliant! I picked out my two cans of mead. I fell in love with the jams and got a bottle of apple peach. I was so excited. Dave, the owner, helped check me out. He asked if I had had mead before. Coincidentally, I had a mead-tasting session at Ontario Honey Creations a few hours ago. Dave and those owners know each other, and he let me know that his mead isn't as strictly made as theirs, and that his is closer to a cider or cooler. That's so me that it works! He was delightful to chat with. He was so understanding with my drive down, as he has family members who did the same run earlier in the day. He let me know that his store is three weeks old. I love the minimalistic, modular design. It's pleasing to these eyes. He also indicated that he's working on installing taps in his store, so that people can drink mead out on the patio and have that bar vibe. I love that it, especially in the countryside. I paid for my bottle of jam with a debit card. We had problems getting the tap to work, so I inserted it into the device on the counter. Success! I got my receipt texted to save some paper. I thanked them both for staying open a bit later for me. I truly appreciated it! They left shortly afterwards. I ended up taking some outdoor photos and soaking up everything in a slower fashion before getting into my car to drive eastbound. I have only had the hopped mead so far. I dig it! Dave suggested that it's best when chilled and it is. It hit the spot on a cooler summer night. I am a fan and will return. I appreciated the mead, chat, and humanness on Saturday. I had a terrific experience despite blowing into the store like a madwoman. It was great visiting a part of Burlington that I knew nothing about beforehand. (324)

What a gem in the outskirts of Milton/Burlington! I came here for a yelp elite event and was…read moregreeted by the nicest staff. They were quite busy at 1pm on a Saturday but had time to give me a quick run down of their products. Backed by Bees is on a BEE-utiful plot of well landscaped land. The actual store building is made from shipping crates painted a bashful bright yellow. You'll see it as you drive down Appleby. They have a curation of many local goods that focuses on honey from food to soaps. They have their own pretty painted hive boxes in the back near a big beautiful oak tree you can sit by while you enjoy their honey mead! Of course there are bees buzzing around but they didn't bother me much. Just be calm and they won't.. bug you. At the back they have beautiful sunflowers and other small flowers that line their field for the bees to pollenate. I'd recommend this stop for a cute date with great photo ops. I enjoyed their hopped honey mead by the tree which was well balanced in terms of sweet and tartness. Easily drinkable for a hot summer day.

I was disappointed for the following reasons: - the woman…read morebehind the counter was not particularly friendly - we weren't allowed to see or choose the apples we wanted from the store. We had to select the varieties sight unseen. Then the staff member bagged them for us. Even at Food Basics or Loblaws, I get to choose my own apples. - we couldn't browse the jams, ciders, honey and other products available. Everything is inside the store but us! We weren't allowed in. I realize there's a pandemic on but other farms and markets allow you to see what you are buying up close. - the prices aren't great - there were no goats. We were told this is the first year that's the case; no explanation was given. They had a few chickens. When we asked where they were the staff member pointed in a vague direction. Please reread my first comment about the lack of friendliness! Positives: - the apples were fresh and tasted good - there's adequate parking.

There has been criticism regarding this farm which is not deserved. Bob Myers has always gone out…read moreof his way to accommodate his customers. Even when COVID was raging he found a way to make his orchard work. Unfortunately this farm is now closed and our family misses it -- a lot!! They had the best apples anywhere, they had wonderful staff, their 'mums they brought in from a local farmer were fabulous. No you don't chose the apples. You get what is in the bushel, 1/2 bushel. If you want to chose go to a grocery store. The farm is closed for the season. Good health to Barb and Bob. What a joy it was to visit every fall on a must say - a lot of occasions!! We miss you.

This has become my favorite store by far! Everything in this store is either local, organic, or…read moreboth! It's not only fruits and vegetables, they make amazing "vegan" meals that you can have delivered or just pick up. They also have many Cold-Pressed Juices they make themselves, all of them filled with vegetables yet taste like fruit. They also have juice "detoxes" where they make you a bunch of juice in advance so you can drink it during the week, in the convenience of your own home or at work. I must say, everything I've eaten or drank there has not only tasted great but also made me feel healthier, including knowing I'm making a choice to put my health first in a not expensive way. It's hard for a mother of 2 boys to take care of "herself" and eat properly, Farmer Jack's made it super easy. It's almost like Jenny Craig but better because they deliver! If you are looking to make healthier choices, eat more local foods, try a juice detox, or just want to eat something really yummy, I 100% recommend Farmer Jack's! Low prices, great service and a healthier "you", how can you top that? Try it! I have no doubt you'll love it.
