One of the best farmers markets around!…read more Not too big, but it's got a bit of everything AND it's on picturesque Main Street in Milton. Every Saturday from Spring to Summer. Friendly community ready to share their local talent and bounty! There are FREE parking lots nearby, and they close down a strip of Main Street for a pedestrian takeover. It's so lovely! And you can pop into the shops for more variety too, or a sit down meal. If Marquee Steak House is selling their Cinnamon buns -- GET ONE. Don't miss it. Sometimes there's a firetruck -- a fun experience for kids! Also, check out the Milton Museum by the Milton Historical Society to learn some interesting local history. As for the food, there's quite a variety! Aside from great local produce, pantry items, fresh, bread (come early - they sell out!), pastries, florists, coffee, sauces/condiments, deli, cheese mongers, crafts people and more. There's more hot food vendors as well, so you can eat while you shop. It's all very walkable and family-friendly. Highly recommend!

Our farmers deserve all the praise…read more Bountiful produce season. You have to get here EARLY. They sell out quickly. Fruit, vegetables, baked goods, cured meats/sausages and spices. Milton is a pretty town and I also enjoy taking in the local architecture - tons of lovely century homes and buildings which are also over 100 years old.

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.

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)

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.

Now I am visiting in January I can't wait to go back this Friday and Saturday to see which of the hearty vendors show up year round! When I was there in July, there were numerous veggie vendors, a few bakers, and some interestingly unique products like home made ice cream that apparently sells out every time the vendor is there! I regret that I walked by the ice cream vendor, not understanding how high quality it was. I'll have to return in the summer so I can indulge :) Lots of parking available, in a nice, up and coming if not already trendy area of Ottawa Street North. Highly recommend checking out the small local businesses while you're in the area, perhaps go for lunch or coffee and enjoy the walkability of the area.
