  • This is one of my favourite farmers' markets in the city. I first came here because I have a CSA meat and egg share from Stoddart Farms, and this is one of their Toronto drop-off points. While I like farmers' markets a lot and do as much as possible of my shopping at markets, Wychwood Barns stands out. Wychwood is one of the bigger winter markets. I often shop at Dufferin Grove and Sorauren, both of which run with a handful of vendors through the winter - but these are trips to pick up a few items like bread or cheese. I don't expect to get most of my produce there. What makes Wychwood Barns different is not just the number of vendors but the variety of produce. Local food in the winter tends to be root-vegetable-heavy, and you can certainly get your beets, carrots, and yams here (in a number of heritage varieties, natch!) And you can get non-seasonal items like preserves, flour and baked goods, eggs (chicken AND duck), and meat. The meat alone is worth the trip for omnivores, as you can pick up anything from rabbit to pastured pork, the latter of which bears no resemblance to factory farmed pork at all. There are also wonderful sausages, both fresh and cured. Because some of the vendors have solar greenhouses, you can even find a few greens - although at $7 for a small bag, local spinach in early March is a pricey indulgence. There are also community enterprises that bring in fair-trade goods like chocolate and coffee, and you can find non-food items like roving and hand-spun yarn, skin care products, and knitted items. And I've had amazing prepared food, like a rice-paper wrap filled with grains and fresh vegetables and freshly-pressed carrot-ginger flu-busting juice. Wychwood Market is bustling and busy; the atmosphere is part of the attraction. A morning at the market followed by a home-cooked brunch of natural pork sausage with maple syrup, fresh eggs, heritage tomatoes (bought frozen from one of the farmers), sauteed sweet potatoes, and country bread - every ingredient from the market, down to the sheep's milk in the fair-trade coffee - is the best way I can think of to start a Saturday.
