I stopped by the Parry Sound market twice on a cottage weekend and was thoroughly pleased with the…read moretaste and quality of the fruit. What was particularly impressive was that there were almost no bad fruit in the pre packed baskets and containers. The opal plums were some of the most delicious I have ever had, and the peaches did not disappoint either. The market also sells wild blueberries at about $9 a pint and I would say this is worth a try if you are visiting the region for the first time! One thing to note is that the fruit tastes so good because it is sold rather ripe, and so I would not really recommend buying more than what you can eat in 3-4 days! Aside from the fruit, the market carries your typical variety of jams, preserves, and baked goods. We tried the Toblerone shortbread cookies and they were absolutely delicious and addictive!

We LOVE this market, it's one of the best farm markets we have ever been to. There seem to be hundreds of vendors, it's one of the largest farmers markets I know of. It is so much fun to wander around, browsing the stalls and mingling with the big crowd that shows up every Wednesday morning (the market runs 9 am to 2 pm). The produce is top notch and comes from local farms in Ontario. But it's so much more than a farmers' market, too. There are food vedors and local artisans as well. Our #1 favorite vendor has to be Tam Nguyen of "Saigon Soul Food." She is amazing. Her stall is the reason we return to the market year after year. Tam and her parents -- sometimes her children -- run her stall with aplomb, offering up free samples of her amazing fresh summer rolls, spring rolls, curry puffs, petit pies...she serves each sample with a dollop of her deliciously seductive sauces from roasted garlic plum (like a duck sauce) to a thick creamy peanut satay. You can order food to eat on the spot -- love that curry soup, those fresh summer rolls, and that awesome sticky rice -- or you can buy her appetizers frozen and reheat them at home. We adore her veggie spring rolls and curry puffs. We also buy several jars of her sauces, our favorite being the spicy roasted garlic and plum. If you visit one stand at the market, make it "Saigon Soul Food." The other stalls are just as enticing, though. There is local maple syrup, with the vendor all too happy to share pictures of his trees and his secrets of "harvesting" the syrup. There are jewellers with beautiful baubles. There are artisans serving up everything from hand carved wooden side tables to kiln fired chipmunks to beautiful oil paintings of local flora and fauna. We really adore wandering this market and know that any visitor to the Muskoka area will find something to love, too.
