Every major city usually has that one definitive farmers market that vloggers will tell you is…read moreessential to visit, for example, London has Borough Market, New York City has Union Square Greenmarket, and LA has the Original Farmers Market. This one is Montreal's and deservedly so as it covers over 30,000 square feet in the city's atmospheric Little Italy neighborhood. Quite easily, Jamie W and I took the 55 city bus to get here and were immediately taken by the abundant tables of fresh produce sourced directly from local regional farms (Photo 8). However, fruits and vegetables are far from the only goods sold here. There are also butchers, fishmongers, artisanal cheese shops, bakeries, spice merchants, and maple goods purveyors. Since we already filled up on bagels on the way over, we really didn't take advantage of the variety of dining options and open-air food stalls. Pretty much everything looked appetizing, especially the lobster toast and the Moroccan pastries (Photo 6), but we only had room to sip a couple of refreshing C$10.50 Mocktails Pina Colada (Photo 13). Expect to spend at least a couple of hours here.

We got big green grapes that were quite pricey, nearly $20 USD but they were just grapes, they were more juicy though. There are also a few places to eat, we ended up at a bakery cafe at the end upstairs. They had different sandwiches and focaccia similar to a pizza type. They heat these up so it was perfect to eat right away. *Warning* There was a an issue of not being labeled nut and asking the worker if there was any and they said no but after confirming with the cook there was walnut in the bread. So I would be extra careful about that. Other than that they had foie gras for sale as well as many other places that had it as well. There were a few grocery stores and butcher shops so there is a lot to choose from if you are looking for different types. There were a few dessert places but the place isn't too big with more variety for grocery food items.

There were pumpkins around the activity area that my children were rearranging (not the ones that were decoratively placed) and we were approached by one of the workers to put them back immediately (i was going to put them back once the children were done..). Then when we went to visit the flower patch the man was quick to imply that if the children didnt follow the rules that HE'D put them in time out. What?! Who is he? I understand there are rule and we are highly capable of caring for our children, there was absolutely no need for that type of comment or imposition. Nice place but I wouldn't go back. I'll give my money to another place who actually welcomes children for being children. I am totally turned off.

It has a nice vibe, you are outdoors surrounded with plants and the old port. To be honest this is a place to go for drinks rather than a meal. It has very limited selection of meals mostly salads. Do not go there if you are looking forward to a big meal. I had the Caesar broccoli which was very good. My friends had oysters which they loved and cucumber salad and tomato salad. We were all happy with our choices but like I said we wanted a big meal which this place does not offer. More of a chill ambiance for drinks and snacks. The only I gave it 4 stars was lack of selection and our waiter was quick to remove our food even when we were nit finished. My friend had to tell him that he is still eating and waiter put back his plate. All in all a good experience.

Because of covid you need to buy tickets ahead of time and you get a time slot to go enjoy the farm. The entry fee is 10$ per person. Once you arrive you get a bracelet and can pick up any prepaid bags for you apples or you can pay for them there. You can then check out some of the farm animals or let the kids use the slide and climb around the play area. Once your ready to pick the apples or pumpkins or even corn, you hop on the tractor and then pick your stop to get off at when they announce what fruits/veggies are available. You get to pick them and take them home ! They have washing stations for the veg as well. Once your done wait for the tractor to pick you up and head back home and bake your heart away !
