| - I saw this place on CTV's "My Toronto" series of commercials. I didn't realize that Toronto had such a place, so it was indeed a lovely find. I'm not sure the history behind Brick Works, but they have a farmer's market every Saturday (from springish) through until November.
I went this morning, as the farmer's market season is winding down. What a great little market. It's an outdoor market, but the vast majority of it takes place under a large shed. The market is interesting, a lot of the foods and goods here were organic. I got a very new age, hippy vibe. The most popular good places by far was the french fries stand. They deep fry them on site, two containers at a time. They mix it with a special salty seasoning which makes the fries taste amazing. You get them in a medium size cone for $4. These guys must make a killing because the lineup is insane!
Other than that, I tried the organic lemonade. I'm such a suck for lemonade and I thought "ohhh organic too" but quite honestly, I've had much better elsewhere. first off, it wasn't fresh, it came from a large pre-made jug. For all I know it could have been minute maid (I didn't taste any pulp). Secondly, it wasn't cold, which for some reason doesn't make it as refreshing.
They sold typical farmer market fare, fruits and veggies and other little goods. Small but a pretty good find!
