On Tuesday past, we went to the Keady Market, a crazy, crowded place that sells everything from livestock to strawberries, from baking to sunglasses! We were there for the fruits and veggies of course. Mrs. F.G. worked in a fruit and veg market as a teenager, and ever since she's had strong ideas about what makes great fruit and veggies.
The Keady Market is actually a livestock market, with farmers buying and selling all kinds of livestock every week, but it has expanded into all sorts of other things, and few people who visit are actually there for the livestock sales now.
There is sausage and bread. We bought some nice bread here.
It wasn't far before we hit the fruits and veggies. Not all of this is locally grown, some likely comes from the Toronto Food Terinal.
But if you were after fruit you could certainly find it! Do you recognize the small orange berries to the left?
These are Sea-Buckthorn berries, said to have many health benefits.
But as I said, there are vendors selling many other sorts of items.
And of course there's a stand where you can buy you snack and a drink. And we're barely half-way through!
It looks like a grand little stop. Grand and little? What am I saying? 😊
ReplyDeleteThat's an oxymoron. :)
