I think that Brick Works may have grown since Linda went there last year, or maybe it is busier right now because it is prime farmer's market season. I would say this is one of the best markets I have been to in Toronto.
First of all the whole area is beautiful. It is an evergreen project and they have done an amazing job of preserving the natural beauty of the site.
The actual farmers market happens every Saturday from 8-1. However, I noticed things started to wind down by around 12: 30 ,so I would recommend getting there a little early.
The space isn't huge but they pack a lot in.
First of all there are FREE SAMPLES EVERYWHERE. I planned on buying lunch, but honestly got quite full on all the free samples.
The fry guy that Linda mentioned is actually Jamie Kennedy. He was there making sweet potato fries and serving them. I didn't try any but I think I was the only person in the place without a cone of fries. Lee also had a booth and was serving some sort of Asian slaw. Looked beautiful!
Other highlights for me included the mustard guy. ( I love mustard) I would definitely recommend the horseradish mustard. It has a great kick! They also had a bunch of delicious looking glutton free baked goods, organic chocolate, amazing pickled vegetables, every stinky cheese you could imagine and of course seasonal fruits and veggies
Great Saturday morning activity!
One warning...there is not a lot of parking available. I would definitely recommend biking!
