Toronto's Farmers' Markets
Ontario with its cold winters and (usually) hot summers creates a unique environment growing some of the most delicious fruits and vegetables. And as our community awareness about global warming, climate change, etc increases so does the demand for the local farmers markets.

The Toronto Farmers market network is an attempt to combat climate change while bringing the residents of Toronto Local Ontario Produce. Each week across the city there are various farmers markets, some open all year others are only seasonal.
Hot foods right now.
Asparagus. And soon to come strawberries. Mmm
