Brick Works Farmers’ Market - Organic Vegetables

This morning I woke up extra early and headed out with a friend of mine to Evergreen Brick Works Farmers’ Market.  I never heard of this place before this year, much less realized that Toronto had so much ‘greenery’ in the mid-town area.  Now I’m not much of an outdoorsy person, but seeing nature in Moore Park Ravine touched by the colourful paints of autumn gave me a change of heart.

As for the actual Brick Works building which can be accessed through several trails in Toronto, the architecture seemed to be remarkably stuck in time.  It’s wonderful seeing a piece of Toronto in this nature.

We reached around 9:15am and it was already filled with people making their stops at all the different booths at the Farmer’s Market.  I picked up a nice, fresh baguette (delicious… I just ate a toasted slice with some garlic butter).  I was tempted to purchase some organic veggies and cheese, but I’m trying to watch my spending habits.  My friend bought some tasty apples and a dozen organic eggs.

The Farmers’ Market will be housed at Brick Works every Saturday until November 8th.
