to market
Filed Under Going Green, Places | July 13, 2010
One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh and local food that’s available. Farmers’ markets abound in Toronto from May to October, making it easy to eat green and clean regardless of where you live in the city. A trip to a local market is also a perfect way to educate your kids about food – where it comes from, how it’s grown, and why that matters. So whether you’re looking for organic spinach, fresh raspberries, farm-raised meat, or free-range eggs, the city’s Farmers’ markets have you covered.
