I fell in love with this store. My sister, son and I were on vacation and just driving around…read morebefore we going to the airport. We stumbled upon this shop. First of all this is the cutest country store I've been to. it is very neatly organized and prices are clearly marked. There are many types of apples available to purchase and different sizes of bags so you buy what you need/want. There were all types of jams, butters, frozen berries, apple and pear chips, syrup and so much more. They offer hot cider samples which was appreciated on a cold, windy day. There were many things to find, I picked up some maple syrup, an apple pie, and some dried cinnamon apple chips. The prices were very fair in my opinion and the employees were very friendly. Overall this store was an unexpected surprise and I loved stopping in.

They have EVERYTHING here including manakeesh, fatayer, sahlab, ka'ak sticks with shoom shoom, Egyptian bread, date pastries, bourek and excellent spices - chili, za'atar, sumac, olives galore and pickled eggplant and other veggies in jars. We spent almost $200 but these are much needed items to last for another few months. We did a trunk pickup.

The ONLY nice thing I can say about this dingy hole in the wall shop is that their prices are…read moresomewhat reasonable, taking the fact that they are located in the expensive area of the Beaches (Toronto) into consideration, which isn't saying much. They are as RUDE as shop keepers come. I smile, say "hows your day", et., and I get a scowl in return. Not sometimes, ALWAYS. Please do NOT ever even contemplate buying flowers from this shop! If a $24 Orchid mysteriously dies within 3 days on you - it absolutely must be your fault! (mine generally last longer than a mont) Forget about getting your money back or a replacement. It may even be suggested to you that you have picked the flowers and buds off on purpose? In other words - you are insane! Your home is too hot? You don't have a receipt because they are not in habit of giving out receipts. You may get one if you unequivocally demand one. If dare suggest that there may have been something wrong with the Orchid (or probably anything they sell), you may just find yourself banned from this place and the lovely accommodating people who work here. Good riddance! Adieu!

Oooooh-Emmmmm-Geeeeee!!! Sooooooo happy is me!…read more On my way home from work this morning I stopped by the market and now I'm absolutely on a sensory high!!! Some of the stands aren't actually from farms (from what I hear) but just people that buy large quantities of produce and go to market to sell it. I didn't buy anything from those guys. I DID, however, buy from a bunch of different families/farmers. It was so wicked cool! I was really overwhelmed by the size of the setup and the number of stands. I most appreciated the guys that offered samples of their fruits and veggies. In fact, I wound up just saying "yes" to buying everything they fed me as I took each euphoric bite. I'm not gonna lie... not all of the vendors are very friendly. I actually felt that the majority were not so. That was a bit of a letdown. But I spent enough time passing through the lanes and chatting with a handful of people that I still had a warm and welcoming experience. The market is open Friday and Sunday from about 7 or 8 am until about 4 or whenever they pack up and will run to October. I know where I will be doing my shopping for the next couple of months!

My review is similar to my Yelp experience. I bought a bottle of apple peach jam during my visit…read more I love a good road trip. I love driving, but the traffic on 400-series highways on the weekend can be brutal. Yesterday, I decided to go drop by Backed by Bees in Burlington. I was in Barrie. I left at 4 pm. Backed by Bees closes at 6 pm on Saturday. Am I crazy? That's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it for you. Yes! What time did I get there? 5:55 pm. OMG! I parked next to the main entrance. I probably made my own parking spot, but I was the only person there besides two other cars in the lot. My guess was that they were owned by staff members. I love the look of this business as you drive up the country road. It's yellow, bright, and modular. You simply can't miss it! I walked up the steps while admiring the plants and cute patio area. I heard voices. No, not in my head, from inside the store. I was happy. I opened the door and was greeted by two staff members. I was so relieved! I thanked them for being open and checked in with the nice woman. She let me know that I could choose two meads from the fridge: hopped and cherry. She was also kind to say that I could take my time browsing. Yay! I loved everything that I saw, from cheese and jams, to nicely crafted wooden boards for charcuterie boards. From pet food, to medium veggie bundles, you can find the coolest items for you or a gift for someone cool. I especially was enamoured by mason jar pump caps. Brilliant! I picked out my two cans of mead. I fell in love with the jams and got a bottle of apple peach. I was so excited. Dave, the owner, helped check me out. He asked if I had had mead before. Coincidentally, I had a mead-tasting session at Ontario Honey Creations a few hours ago. Dave and those owners know each other, and he let me know that his mead isn't as strictly made as theirs, and that his is closer to a cider or cooler. That's so me that it works! He was delightful to chat with. He was so understanding with my drive down, as he has family members who did the same run earlier in the day. He let me know that his store is three weeks old. I love the minimalistic, modular design. It's pleasing to these eyes. He also indicated that he's working on installing taps in his store, so that people can drink mead out on the patio and have that bar vibe. I love that it, especially in the countryside. I paid for my bottle of jam with a debit card. We had problems getting the tap to work, so I inserted it into the device on the counter. Success! I got my receipt texted to save some paper. I thanked them both for staying open a bit later for me. I truly appreciated it! They left shortly afterwards. I ended up taking some outdoor photos and soaking up everything in a slower fashion before getting into my car to drive eastbound. I have only had the hopped mead so far. I dig it! Dave suggested that it's best when chilled and it is. It hit the spot on a cooler summer night. I am a fan and will return. I appreciated the mead, chat, and humanness on Saturday. I had a terrific experience despite blowing into the store like a madwoman. It was great visiting a part of Burlington that I knew nothing about beforehand. (324)

What a gem in the outskirts of Milton/Burlington! I came here for a yelp elite event and was…read moregreeted by the nicest staff. They were quite busy at 1pm on a Saturday but had time to give me a quick run down of their products. Backed by Bees is on a BEE-utiful plot of well landscaped land. The actual store building is made from shipping crates painted a bashful bright yellow. You'll see it as you drive down Appleby. They have a curation of many local goods that focuses on honey from food to soaps. They have their own pretty painted hive boxes in the back near a big beautiful oak tree you can sit by while you enjoy their honey mead! Of course there are bees buzzing around but they didn't bother me much. Just be calm and they won't.. bug you. At the back they have beautiful sunflowers and other small flowers that line their field for the bees to pollenate. I'd recommend this stop for a cute date with great photo ops. I enjoyed their hopped honey mead by the tree which was well balanced in terms of sweet and tartness. Easily drinkable for a hot summer day.

Nice apple orchard for PYO with apples, pumpkins, and christmas trees…read more It's not too big and a picturesque walk. There are a lot of varieties and not a lot of signage. If anyone is around, ask them to point out the different rows. Staff was cool with trying apples before you bag them. Its a fun taste test. There are play areas for the kids, but its not as big as some other PYO that can get crowded. You have to buy a bag to enter, min. 2 people per bag at $20. Not sure about kids. Fill it to the top. There is a country store with honey, baked goods, and some produce, lots of squashes and apples. Free parking happy harvest

The prices are great and the fields have PLENTY of strawberries to pick. There was also garlic, potatoes, peas, and my personal favourite, wildflowers. I could easily spend a whole day here.
