Do you love garlic?…read more The taste, the smell, the medicinal benefits! I do (obviously, right?)! I love to cook with it. I love to crush it up and eat it raw when I feel a cold coming on. It's an excellent support for the immune system. The most flavorful and fresh garlic I have found in Ontario is from The Cutting Veg/Organic Farmer Daniel Hoffmann. Years ago I was part of a CSA and enjoyed all kinds of produce Daniel harvested, including his amazing garlic. Fast forward a couple of years later. Now The Cutting Veg focuses on selling its sumptuous, local, organic garlic to individuals and bulk buyers. There are many varieties to choose from: Persian, Sicilian, Korean, Tibetan, Italian, and Russian to name a few! And all are organic. Customers like myself can order online and either have it delivered to your home for a fee - or pick up at one of five locations (in Toronto, Markham, or Sutton). I just received four heaping bags of super fresh and tasty garlic. I can't tell you the difference between buying The Cutting Veg garlic and buying garlic in a grocery store. The latter is typically lifeless, sad, and lacking in aroma and taste. Every one of my family and friends who have tasted Daniel's garlic notes the difference and are amazed by it. On a personal note, my dealings with The Cutting Veg have always been excellent. I find Daniel to be a noble, honest, and hardworking farmer who I am more than happy to support. I am super happy with this harvest of local organic garlic and highly recommend it to others!

Oh and the cookies - OH MY GAH, so so yummy! They also offered plants and flowers for sale outside of the building. Seems to be a one stop shop for cottagers and locals in the area, would definitely return!

Strange I know but the layout and fridges filled with delicious things really hit me. The shop is tiny and tries to showcase local organic products of all kinds. Soap, meat, cheese, baked goods, you name it. If it's ethically made then they want to help you sell it. That's a mandate I can get behind because far too many companies put profit ahead of quality these days. I picked up a dozen duck eggs, a giant mason jar of maple syrup, elk jerky and bacon and was amazed at how good everything was. Fresh, locally sourced food makes for one hell of a breakfast which kind of makes me wish I lived a little closer to this place.

**Review for their pick your own strawberry**…read more The price for 2018 is $6/kg, which I remembered it was $5/kg when I last went here for the 2016 strawberry season. They have a pretty large strawberry field for customers to pick from. You can either bring your own container to buy a basket from them, and they will weight your strawberries at the end to determine the cost. There is no time limit of how long you stay in the field to pick, and they have free parking on site. It appears that this year the yield was lower than usual, as the strawberries were mostly smaller than the ones I picked back in 2016. However, they still taste really good despite the smaller size. The strawberries go back fairly quickly, so you should eat them within a day or two after picking, or store them in the freezer to make smoothies. They also have other produce available for picking, which I think corn is coming up later in July. You can go on their website to see what's available and the prices. They also have a market on the other side of the street for customers to buy fresh produce from, much like a farmers market

A recent bus day trip included a stop at this market and it was a delightful little place. Lots of…read morepreserves, fresh baked goods, produce and even some frozen options. There is also gelato and ice cream offerings. I got myself a strawberry sundae that hit the spot. I also picked up some ambrosia apples, an unique maple chipotle pepper seasoning, red pepper jelly, strawberry cream honey (!!) and a corn dip. The last thing I hesitated on until a customer said it was amazing. Sold! I bought a frozen one to survive a bit longer and I haven't tried it yet, but considering the enjoyment of everything else, I trust it will be good. My sister got some fresh corn on the cob and her whole family wished she brought home more. So if you're in the area, do yourself a favour and see what Herrie's has to offer.

They must get a lot of tourist/travelers just popping in. They have a wide selection of fruits and vegetables, which I assume are organic. Of course, you're going to be paying a slight premium from the products here but it's good to support local farms and communities. They also have a variety of frozen meats, as well as baked goods like danishes and short bread. The short bread was packed nicely and a sweet, creamy taste, The danishes were very good as well. As soon as I brought them home, they were gone right away. My family seemed to enjoy the pastries so I wish I bought more. Overall, it seems like this farm produces some nice quality products.

With shopping local and Canadian becoming more encouraged in 2018 my parents and I decided to stop here for a bit of grocery shopping.

I picked up some lamb chop (which is my first time having lamb) a jar of peach raspberry jam plus some cheese curds; my mother picked some peas, strawberry syrup and lamb too. All in all I liked it there and may divert our usual route on purpose just to come back and pick up some other items that I didn't have room in the cooler to take back to home. :)
