You may have noticed 'Achy Back Aceres' showing up among my comments, so I thought I'd introduce you to this remarkable place. We've been stopping there for seven years, since I became paralyzed; it's a great source for fresh local veggies in season, just down the road.
The only advertising they do is this sandwich board where their driveway hits the highway, half-way between here and Owen Sound.
I usually just stay in the car, as it's a bit of trouble to unload and load me, but this time I got out to get some pictures and say hello. Onions were the first thing I saw on the table.
Beside them were some little zucchini, just the size I like them. I eat them raw, like a cucumber.
Beside them were some green and yellow beans, and some Patty Pan squash.
Their garlic harvest is well underway; this wagonload had just come in from the fields.
An earlier load was spread out in the shade to dry.
They do grow a few flowers, and everything is planted in long rows like these Sunflowers.
So if you're ever passing by, stop in and pick up some fresh veggies, or a bit of the best garlic around here (It's also the best price).
Speak to the proprietors, Brian and Freda. I know they will engage you in conversation.
They're the ones with the achy backs!
