Bests: Gigantic Jars of honey for $9, Braided Garlic (14 Organic Cloves for $25), Bags of Beets Carrots etc for $4-5 a bag. Really Nice looking Quiches and the Hempola Farms products. Surprisingly, a Chinese run booth had dumplings cooking all day and I had takeaway rice and Chana Masala that wasn't bad for $5. Frank (Frankie Flowers of Breakfast Television fame) was there shopping with his family too, he lives in the area. Really Nice Produce, Ample Parking if you have to drive. Decent prices.

We stopped at Nicholyn Farms store on the way home from our friends cottage at Balm Beach. The…read morestore is quite impressive, there are few rare finds, food-wise. We ended up buying some homemade pies, a quiche, and few frozen steaks. We liked strawberry-rhubarb and raspberry pies, the quiche was ok, but we were really disappointed with steaks. We got NY strip loin beef steaks, a Ribeye bison steak and a lamb steak. The lamb steak was ok, but the bison and beef steaks were not cut properly and were quite chewy. Considering that the prices for everything in store are 50% more than in regular supermarket (see prices for steaks at the picture), we were clearly disappointed with our visit.

We went last weekend, it was a lot of people and kids there. This is a huge farm that lots of…read morevarieties to pick. Now it's a good time to pick strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, peas, and corns. There are wagons to take ppl from one field to another. We got off at the strawberry field, but we don't really into the strawberry, so just took a look; then we got to the raspberry field, they looked good, but we barely eat raspberry; then we went to the Blueberry field, our destination was here. We saw another side of the field was having big blueberries, but they didn't open that side to us. And they said it was noon already, most of the big ones had been picked. I tasted a few, they were sort of big, but soured. We moved to other sides, but still the same. When we went home, most of them we made smoothies with honey. We also went to the peas field, not too many people. The peas were so sweet that we could eat them raw. But we went home to boil them with the skin, the skin was hard to eat, it was not snow peas, and too expensive when weighed with the skin. Good experience for the kids. They were happy.

Delicious strawberries, great value for a day activity with kids. The blueberries and strawberries…read moreare low to ground and very kid friendly height for pick your own. The blueberries were plentiful but small and not that sweet. However the strawberries were so juicy and delicious. You pay $9 per person (6 and under are free), then after you pick, you show your receipt and they deduct what you paid. So as long as you pick at least $9 worth, there's technically no entry fee. We somehow managed to pick under and was asked if we wanted to go back and pick more but was too lazy to. There are 2 different tractors that take you - one to the blueberries. The other to the apples, sweet corn, raspberries, strawberries. There weren't many raspberries to pick, and no one else was there probably for that reason. You can bring your own baskets, otherwise they have plenty and you can pay for them. The tractor wagon ride was very long and enjoyable for kids. They have a little playground area and lots of picnic tables. We tried the apple cinnamon froyo which was one of the flavours (the other ones were rasberry and blueberry). The apple cinnamon flavour was unlike anything i have ever tasted. A bit sour, very cinnamony, and sweet. It tasted like apple pie in a froyo. Overall it was great value!

That's what enables them to sell the same stuff for less than their competitors. If I need a "frill" then I go to Zehrs, or Metro, or Sobey's or whatever. Parking is no problem. Hours are great. Staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable. Selection is acceptable... unless you want specialty stuff of course, but hey... it's "no frills". Duh. I just recently shopped at a local Zehrs. When I got home, I did a comparison shop out of curiosity. I would have saved myself more than 10% had I shopped at No Frills vs. Zehrs for the exact same products. That would add up to over $800 in one year... for the same stuff. It's a no-brainer.

I have been looking for a place in Barrie to have a quick meal. I am limited by some food issues,…read moreand sometimes time is at a premium. "Goodness Me" is a health food store with extras available, including fresh baked goods, and a service counter and salad bar. They provide several fresh dishes on a salad bar, and a counter where they have about 10-12 hot dishes that you can choose from. The food is fast, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The pricing is good. My experience has been that it is best to go earlier in the day when the food is fresh. Like any other buffet type "restaurant" the food tends to get pretty thick if it has been sitting around for a while. There are lots of good options for people looking for gluten free options, but the potential for cross contamination is there if you are very sensitive.l to gluten. They also had 3 fresh soups available and regularly have chilli. The pricing is much better to offerings such as Nature's emporium. I found the price to be at least 25% less. They also have a pretty hefty discount at the end of the day on food if you are so inclined. I did it once, the price was fantastic, but the butter fish was like glue. ;) Overall, a good place to have a healthy and quick easy bite.
