To say that we were blown away would be an understatement- the only place that compares to this is…read morethe Granville Island market, but imagine that place on steroids. The number of vendors is enormous and the choice of meats - beef, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, you name it they have it. They had food stalls that had 50 person line ups. Lots of great reviews on the web for a number of these places and it didn't matter what you were looking for - fruits, veggies, bread, seafood, sandwiches, soups, homemade pasta..... if it isn't here it hasn't been invented or you don't need it. We loved this place. I wish Ottawa could support something like this.

The building is really imposing and stunning. It's always so busy. People (shoppers and vendors) were pretty friendly when I was volunteering. Also, there is a lot of options and vendors so it was hard choosing something to eat and buy in general. Prices for prepared food were on the expensive side. Portions seem to be decent (in terms of possibly having some left overs).

Outside they have a great garden centre. It really is an all around place, and I haven't even mentioned all the vendors. Lots to choose from including some organic offerings. Check them out -- you won't be sorry! Lots of free parking too!

[Apostrophe talk - start] I got this listing changed from…read moreFarmer's Market to Farmers' Market. As of late, I have been thinking about apostrophes and there are two correct methods here: - Farmers' Market (genitive), which is how Lakeview Farmers' Market employs the apostrophe. A bunch of farmers belong to this market. - Farmers Market (attributive). Farmers may not all own the market, but the word acts as an adjective to identify the market type. Farmer's Market would indicate that it's a market for a single farmer, which is usually not the case. Or, it could be my friend, Mr Farmer, who owns this market. He doesn't, though. He's still in the IT field! [Apostrophe talk - end] Last Sunday, I dropped by Lakeview Farmers' Market and did some damage during the brief hour that I was here. It was rare for me to be out on a Sunday, but I'm so glad that I did. This market is open from May 30 to October 10, 2021. Its hours are from 10 am till 2 pm. It's roughly fifteen minutes by car from my workplace. It's simply driving southbound on Dixie Road until there isn't any road left. I got there at 1 pm. I didn't have any difficulty finding a prime parking spot steps away from the entrance, likely because I got here towards the end of its Sunday operation. There were many volunteers present. One was waving me into the market itself as I drove in. It puzzled me. I actually asked him whether he was signalling me to park in the first row, because his hand gesture was saying something totally different. He confirmed my suspicion. I backed into a spot and then headed over to the market. There is an informational booth with pretty flowers. You can pick up details about local events and more there. Art of Bean sells coffee and proceeds to go running the market. I love that concept. It's too bad that I'm not a coffee drinker to support that cause more. Instead, I'm definitely a shopper and bought more stuff than I had anticipated! This market has quite the variety, from whiskey and beer, to jams and samosas. It's a small market compared to some that I have visited, but it's mighty in quality and heart. I racked up the following goodies on my market visit: - A bottle of blackcurrant kombucha from Cathy's kombucha - Chanterelle and oyster mushrooms from Fresh and Tasty Mushrooms - Lemon shortbread cookies from Shanny's Shortbread Cookies - A chocolate croissant from Tatsu's Bread - Low-sugar peach jam from Joanne's Urban Pantry I have consumed everything. Top notch. So good. I need to return! I'm out of most items and the week's not over! Perhaps I enjoyed this visit more because I hadn't been to a market in a while. It's quite the gem in Mississauga. I'm so glad that I dropped by and hope to again soon. (293)

I would say that the space given for parking is larger than the market itself. There's volunteers directing traffic for the parking lot and those at the entrance of the market. There's a variety of vendors selling products from kombucha, alcohol, jam, fresh fruit and produce, micro greens, bread, sweets (pies, tarts, cookies, biscotti), maple syrup, honey, cheese. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creativehub_1352/ website: https://www.creativehub1352.ca/lakeviewfarmersmarket

Every Saturday at the Etobicoke Civic Centre there is a small but wonderful farmers market. I've…read morebeen going there every weekend this summer and I've developed great relationships with actual farmers and enjoyed the fresh Ontario harvest. Like most farmers market recently, there are some resellers here. I would say there's only 2 stalls here that are 100% resellers and have no idea how food gets to their hands. There are probably 4 other stalls that sell repackaged vegetables and half their crops. From my experience, there are 4 real farmers that are phenomenal. My favourite vegetable stall that is owned by an actual farmer is against the southern part of the lot and right beside the chicken/egg farmer. He specializes in leafy vegetables and the occasional root vegetable. I love his baby spinach. It's ridiculously fresh (the spinach still has the damp earth on it from being picked the day before). I normally hate spinach but I found this spinach to be tender and almost sweet in taste. It didnt have that awful bitter taste or that awful rough film on left on your teeth. I guess only old spinach does that. Their Boston lettuce is HUGE and actually flavourful. They also sell rainbow beets in the spring and early summer. When roasted, it's nearly candy sweet and it has that really neat zebra stripe orange and white appearance. There is a fruit only farmer closest to the corner of East Mall and Burnhamthorpe. She specializes in stone fruit and her peaches are so sweet and juicy. She pretty much sells seasonal tree fruits. I've bought pears, plums, nectarines, and peach from her. Each time I'm amazed how much better they are compared to the stores. Its so much juicier. Another fruit only farmer is right in front of the deli truck and in the centre aisle. I really love this one as I've bought strawberries, blueberries, cherries, peaches, nectarine and tons of apples... pretty much any and all fruits here. I love this vendor because they're so personable. If you're not sure, they even let you try the fruit before buying. Often they have specials and they'll be the cheapest than any other farmer (and sometimes even much cheaper than supermarket). Once in a while they'll have something unusual and it's great to see. They have fresh walnuts (even with the natural shell), quince, gooseberries, and chestnuts. There's also a little deli truck outside the library steps and it's manned by a cute Eastern Euro couple and they smoke and cure everything themselves. Their pancetta is perfect and so is their bacon. An honourable mention goes to one of the resellers actually... though they are not farmers, their prices and vegetable offering are better than supermarket. It's just as fresh as any other farmer stall but their prices are more inline with supermarket prices. They also are super generous with their sizes and they always remember me. Their service is always warm and friendly. I really love this place and I'll continue to come back to support the Ontario farmers. Though it is not the cheapest option, my tastebuds love it!

Then purchased two field cucumbers and a red onion from another vendor for $4.00. Lastly, I stopped at another vendor as I was looking for some heirloom tomatoes. She had the good ones at the back and all the gross mushy ones at the front. I politely said that they were a little too soft for the dish I was planning on making. She said that there supposed to be like that. Seriously, tomatoes are supposed to be consumed half rotten? I ended up buying some salad tomatoes from her for $4.00 or $5.00 ... can't remember. Fast forward to the next day: all the beets shrunk and got mushy so I threw away my $4.00. I made a Greek salad with the remaining ingredients. Cucumbers tasted like No Frills, tomatoes were nothing special (Farm Boy far superior) but the onion was delicious. I will go back as the green beans, peaches and celery root looked really good but, sorry to say, Farm Boy has fresher organic and non-organic produce at better prices.

Anyhow, my sweetie and I found free street parking nearby and took the brisk walk here. Covid-19 and social distancing has changed the approach for many visitors and patrons to these venues. Often, touching a vendor product is not encouraged and I would think that farmers' product sales are so much triggered by a human need to touch, smell, feel the fruit or produce. We thought many items were overpriced. Given the tough times, vendors need to make a living so that's reality for at least those trying to do so locally. Sidenote: I was standing in a lineup, watched a woman & her daughter in front of me with a large dog, saw their dog deposit a number 2, and then the mother told me it wasn't her dog that made the deposit. Furthermore, she didn't wanted to pick up the big pile of pOOp that was still steaming! Unbelievable...there's no other dog around you Madam!
