**Review for their pick your own strawberry**…read more The price for 2018 is $6/kg, which I remembered it was $5/kg when I last went here for the 2016 strawberry season. They have a pretty large strawberry field for customers to pick from. You can either bring your own container to buy a basket from them, and they will weight your strawberries at the end to determine the cost. There is no time limit of how long you stay in the field to pick, and they have free parking on site. It appears that this year the yield was lower than usual, as the strawberries were mostly smaller than the ones I picked back in 2016. However, they still taste really good despite the smaller size. The strawberries go back fairly quickly, so you should eat them within a day or two after picking, or store them in the freezer to make smoothies. They also have other produce available for picking, which I think corn is coming up later in July. You can go on their website to see what's available and the prices. They also have a market on the other side of the street for customers to buy fresh produce from, much like a farmers market

There is also gelato and ice cream offerings. I got myself a strawberry sundae that hit the spot. I also picked up some ambrosia apples, an unique maple chipotle pepper seasoning, red pepper jelly, strawberry cream honey (!!) and a corn dip. The last thing I hesitated on until a customer said it was amazing. Sold! I bought a frozen one to survive a bit longer and I haven't tried it yet, but considering the enjoyment of everything else, I trust it will be good. My sister got some fresh corn on the cob and her whole family wished she brought home more. So if you're in the area, do yourself a favour and see what Herrie's has to offer.

As far as COVID 19 goes, I felt safe in their store. They sanitize everything all the time and the lay out is good to social distance. Also found out they offer curve side pick up and delivery. This place is 10/10 and highly recommend going. I can honestly say it's one of the nicest independent grocery store I have ever been too !!

While I was in Kitchener I spotted a sign that read "Victoria Street Market" and something about…read moresausages... the building looked inviting. So I made a left and headed into the parking lot. Upon entering this little gem I observed a very clean and very well organized little shop. To begin the tour heading to the right hand side of the shop (which is about 5,000 sq feet I believe.) there was an area just dedicated to seafood with all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp, lobster, squid, salmon... you get the picture. The area had all kinds of seafood sauces and spices ... But HUH? I read something about sausages... so where are they? Ah as I got a little further into the store I saw an entire area with, beef, pork and chicken. As I looked over to the chilled glass display case, there were the sausages October fest, Hot Italian, Honey garlic, mild Italian, etc... On the left side of the shop I found a full deli counter filled with all kinds of cheeses and cold cuts. You may also order a sandwich of your choice and take it to go or eat it there. Each area has staff to assist you and all the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. The store is loaded with all sorts of exotic sauces, spices, European cookies and breads. As for me I ordered a mixture of cold cuts, October fest sausages, some steaks and some chicken. The prices were great and I loved that the store was VERY clean. Will I be back again? OH YEAH!!!!..

Nauman's farm is a really cool place to take your kids and pickup pumpkins and other vegetables…read morewhether you are going to use them for food or for decoration. There is a parking lot but if you are buying a lot of pumpkins I'd recommend parking as close to the right side upon entering as possible so it won't be such a long haul for your cart that you fill up. The place is really large. If you have kids there is a corn maze, rope maze as well as a swings, slides, hay tower/pyramid and other park related activities like a pumpkin slingshot. The pumpkins are laid out by type, and sometimes by size and there are a very wide variety of shapes, sizes and prices. They have some pumpkins that are so large they are on skids and probably require a forklift to put into a flat bed. They have metal carts or you can bring your own wagon. Basically just pick out everything you want and then take it into the building where the check out is. They take debit I'm not sure about credit card. This place is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Apparently they also have a booth at the St. Jacob's farmer's market too.

I've been experiencing a lot of frustration, lately, with my local food scene. We live in the heart…read moreof Ontario's best growing country, and yet the "Farmer's Market" is crammed full of sellers who import things from Mexico, Morocco, even from my beloved Willamette Valley in Oregon, 3000 miles away -- all with the inconvenience of cash-only, no ABM/ATM on the premises, and so desperately overcrowded that it often takes 10 minutes to move 5 feet. (And did I mention that it's only available Saturday until noon? And the actual local producers sell out long before then? And that parking thereabouts is a nightmare?) The grocery stores that we've investigated are full of cheap/generic/environmentally unsustainable, with some of the most appallingly aged and limp imported produce I've ever seen -- and all with the customer service attitude of "like it or lump it; who do you think you are, someone special?" Oh yeah, and the supply is inconsistent -- if I find a product that I like, they'll stop carrying it and won't bring it back, even if I'm willing to special-order it by the case. Disheartened, I had pretty much resigned myself to shopping weekly at Whole Foods, an hour away, which (as always) is stocked to the rafters with beautiful organic foodstuffs, nitrite/nitrate-free meats, sustainably-harvested, marine stewardship council-certified wild-caught fish, artisan boutique cheeses, and organic fair-trade shade-grown coffee. (Did I mention that it's an hour away? Not exactly convenient. And that's a lot of driving -- 2 hours worth of carbon emissions per shopping trip.) But coming from Portland, I have food quality standards that I am unwilling to compromise, knowing just how good food can be... Enter Angelino's Market. My darling husband, feeling adventurous, found this gem due to a traffic detour. Locally owned family market, featuring local produce and high quality meats. It's not much to look at on the outside, but get a load of the pics I took inside... it's spotlessly clean, and filled with gorgeous high quality food. Some of my faves: The best fresh-squeezed orange and grapefruit juice I've had since I left Portland. On par with what I used to drink daily when I lived in Southern California, where the oranges and grapefruits are grown. Vast and varied meat and cheese deli. They roast their own garlic roast beef in-house -- tender, medium-rare, stuffed with roasted garlic cloves and crusted in fresh herbs. Thinly sliced, it's the only lunch meat I've found in the Guelph area that isn't chock-full of nitrites/nitrates (which prematurely age cells and tissues -- I don't need any help aging, thanks -- and can lead to cancer). It's also utterly delicious. An enormous olive and antipasti bar. With several different iterations of anchovies and sardines. Yum. A large meat section -- they cut and grind their own meat daily, and it's lean and red and very appealing. A bakery section that features local bakery bread, gorgeous focaccia pizzas, and some of the loveliest pastry confections I've ever seen. The best produce I've seen in the province. Period. Friendly, attentive, responsive staff -- I spent half an hour gabbing with Rob, the meat department manager, who was knowledgeable, clued-in as to the health benefits and superior flavor of sustainably-produced, local fresh meats, and held forth in intelligent discourse about production methods (he's produced his own in the past, and is currently raising free-run chickens). So, for those of you who love good food, good news! I'll see you at Angelino's. Just save me some orange juice.

A consistently delightful spot. We've always enjoyed the drive out here from Toronto…read more It's enormously popular with people of all ages. One of the big draws for us is their very tastefully curated market shop which has everything from costume jewellery, home decor/accoutrements, classy tableware etc. Their name branded Springridge Farm chutneys, BBQ seasonings, rubs and salad dressings are outstanding! Every year they increase their repertoire. They have a ton of other jarred comestibles. They have a lovely bakery/coffee shop on site where you can relax in the garden under the large trees.

Springridge was about a 35 minute drive from our place, so it was an easy decision. We arrived around lunchtime and the place was already quite crowded but fortunately there was plenty of parking. We were all a bit peckish, so lunch was the first order of the day. I decided to go with the Smoky BBQ Pulled Chicken ("Crispy Onions, Chipotle Aioli, Potato Scallion Bun. Served with Kettle Chips") and it was handed to me within a minute of paying. It's a decent sandwich. The less-than-generous amount of pulled chicken is pretty tasty and the fresh, soft bread goes with it perfectly. The kettle chips were tasty, too. The rest of the place is fairly nice, although we were a little surprised at how expensive it is to visit the attractions. With tax, the total for two people came out to $35! It's a little outrageous given that there isn't a whole lot to do back there, although feeding the baby goats was a highlight. (Even that, however, you had to pay extra for.) Springridge is cute enough, though I doubt it's worth almost $100 for a couple hours of entertainment.

If you wanna stock up on fresh fruit & veg, I'd definitely recommend you visit closer to closing time. Plants, fresh cut flowers were also at clear out prices. The main entrance of produce vendors are outside, but it's covered. Indoors is 2 levels with more produce, meat, bakery, etc. Upstairs it's a food court with a lot of international eateries. I believe there's also another outdoor area with artisan vendors off of the 2nd floor, but I didn't venture outside. If you're into Farmer's Markets, love deals, and wanna stock up on veg/fruits, then this market is definitely worth checking out!

The food was actually tasty and relatively cheap... definitely an easy stop on the way home if you know dinner isn't made. On my second and third visits though... unfortunately the rude customer service staff at the front lost them a star. At bare minimum say hello, thank you or smile. Throwing my receipt at me and pointing instead of replying doesn't work for me, as they spoke to each other about their weekend plans. It's also always a bit difficult as well when the majority of staff throughout the store doesn't speak English. Not the end of the world... I did get many steps in trying to find items myself! Lol All in all though, when I'm in town this store will very likely be a stop every time. Pros: Location (Derry Road & Bronte in Milton) in an outdoor plaza, store layout, cleanliness, selection of items, hot food menu station & taste, prices Cons: Staff (they can work on that), parking can be tricky when they're busy
