I discovered this awesome Farmers' Market while visiting my brother this past summer (2012). Even…read morethough the market is an outside market, it runs year round. 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.

In particular, the halibut was balanced so well with the brightness of the summer veggies and sauce. This was also my first time trying the seafood chowder, and it did not disappoint! Chunks of assorted seafood in a creamy (but not overly thick or salty) broth, topped with a heapful of chives that just hit the spot. The chowder let the seafood shine, which is exactly what it should do!

Very good offering and the people are nice. I've been coming here for years. Would recommend.read more
