If you work on or near University Ave and Dundas Street/College Street, the Sick Kids Hospital’s Farmers’ Market is your opportunity to purchase fresh produce on your morning break or at lunch! Starting at 9am and continuing until 2pm, today is the ideal day to check out the wares of local farmers – almost everything is in season in September! You’ll find freshly-picked apples, beans, blueberries, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, eggplant, nectarines, peppers, plums, radishes, squash and tomatoes around at this time of year, so if you are at all into preserving your own food while the harvest is at its finest (the cheapest, most eco-friendly and delicious way to get through the winter with an abundance of fruits and veggies), you need to get yourself to a farmers’ market, stat!

The Sick Kids Hospital Farmers’ Market takes place every Tuesday throughout the year (indoors in the winter, outdoors during the warmer months). For more information, go to www.my-market.ca.
