The outside displays are always enticing; everything from fresh herb plants to produce can be seen as a backdrop to a small outdoor seating area, which is a great place to chill once you've grabbed a quick ready-to-go item for a snack or lunch. Typical items are sandwiches, fresh pizza, baked goods. Also, coffee is pretty decent. I'm a big fan of their move to support gluten free products. They currently carry Purest, a brand that's based in ON, and every Wednesday is gluten-free day; they have pizza and sandwiches that are really yummy. And, today I even scored a GF brownie - delicious. Prices definitely reflect the quality, which I won't complain about - it just makes it a more occasional stop for me.

I think the long-standing tradition of market square in Kingston is fantastic. In fact, what…read moreconstantly amazes me is the frequency and duration of the market as a whole; running as long as possible over the calendar year (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays (antiques and crafts), and holiday mondays). What I love is the selection of fresh, local produce at great prices. The vendors are mostly very cheerful and friendly folks, and I enjoy making my weekly trips to pick up whatever is in season. I don't pay much attention to the craft/baked goods or jams and jellies - although they all look fantastic. They are not really up my alley, but if you're interested, come check them out. This market will never be the biggest, nor the most varietal, but what it does offer is great local food from local people. In fact, I'll go as far as to say I prefer the simplicity that some of the other reviewers seemed to be disappointed by. There are no frills here, and that's just the way I like it.

There is a little bakery from Wolfe Island that has some awesome pastries. Of course, we always grab a bunch of berries & veggies as well from the various produce vendors. Beware of the bees in the summer - they like these goodies too!

Huge selection of baked goodies! We were excited to stop by on our way into Kingston, and this was…read morea highly recommend stop by our friends. There's a dining area and then the retail side. We didn't stay in so we wandered the store side a bit. There were a lot of ready-made meals like pies and sausage rolls and ice creams. You could pick up a tasty sweet treat, some freshly baked breads, and a lot of lovely dessert options. They also had some local goodies like County Bounty sodas, jams, teas, and others. I picked up a few local goodies and then a cinnamon bun (which was massive!) and a ginger cookie. The ginger cookies were delicious. Soft, molassas cookies with that chewy texture. The cinnamon bun was huge and more bread-y than sweet, which I really liked. It had such a great flavour. We wanted to grab some pies too but we couldn't bring them on the road with us. Definitely gotta bring a cooler next time we're heading into Kingston. The staff are also so friendly here and do their best to get through the crowd in an organized and fast way. Can't wait to be back

Ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie, a sausage roll and a croissant. The oatmeal raisin cookie was…read moregood, although a bit too hard (maybe its a day old?). We had to reheat the sausage roll at home as they did not offer to do it in store, which was fine since we weren't planning on eating it right away. It was just ok, it had a lot of minced meat inside. The croissant was good but not the best I've had.

This place is AWESOME…read more I've been twice now for the annual strawberry picking, and the entire experience is great. The fields are well-kept, the staff are extremely friendly and I just generally enjoy being out at the farm to pick my own strawberries to turn into lovely homemade jam. They don't just have strawberries though; they've grown over the past few years and offer raspberry picking, peas, beans, pumpkins and apples, seasonally. The other thing worth mentioning is that they do a fantastic job of managing farm updates on Facebook and their website (www.fruition.ca). With wacky weather and the finicky nature of any harvest, things change pretty quickly. But, their timely updates will let you plan a great visit to the farm for whatever is in season.

The best Farm experience! Christine is an awesome person who…read moreruns a wonderful team of staff. Everyone from the tractor driver to the cashier is always friendly. Very kid friendly with lots of space for them to run around, play on the wooden tractor, play on the hay and of course take a real ride on the tractor that runs non stop. Whether your spending time picking your own or just out to grab fresh picked fruits and veggies everything is always so juicy and tasty. All season long they have things going on, berry picking, corn maze, pumpkin picking, and lots of other great food. The price is perfect $5.25 for a small basket or $10 for a large one. Don't have a basket to bring you can buy them for a $1 and re-use them over and over. Trust me once you experience Fruition you'll be back

They have an amazing variety of vinegars (white balsamic and regular balsamic) and olive oils. The staff are very knowledgeable and can help you pair different flavours if you're feeling overwhelmed. Love that you can taste test the different products (vinegars and oils). They also run a bottle recycling program so if you bring back your washed bottles you can get 10% off a new bottle! They occasionally come out with new flavours so make sure to stop by every so often to check it out! Fun fact: this is also a stop on the Kingston food tours!

A gem of a bakery and cafe in downtown Kingston!…read more My review is only for the bakery and store portion of Pan Chancho. I haven't had the chance to dine in the cafe yet, mostly because it gets extremely busy, especially on weekends. That said, the bakery/store has so many great finds. Their bread is excellent quality and a great value for the size, at around $5 for a small loaf and $8 for a larger one. My favorite is the olive rosemary sourdough, which is absolutely delicious. The saucisson sec is another great local find. The baked goods offer a nice rotating variety, with everything from Québec maple chômeurs to Italian maritozzi. On my last visit, I tried the Vietnamese coffee panna cotta, which was excellent. There's also an large gluten-free selection, ranging from breads to fresh-baked goods. The gluten-free scones are a particular standout. Beyond the food, Pan Chancho also has a great selection of kitchen and pantry-related items, including spices, pasta, sauces, hand towels, reusable bags, and more. It's the kind of place where you can go in for a loaf of bread and easily leave with a whole bag of interesting little things. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in downtown Kingston! The bakery alone is reason enough to visit, even if you don't get a chance to sit down at the cafe.

Wendy's Country Market is the retail store version of Wendy's mobile market, which links up piles of local food producers (from Buffalo meat to baby lettuce heads) to individual customers, wholesalers and restaurants. Needless to say, come Spring and through Fall Wendy and Rick are busy people. Good thing they have an adorably floppy Basset Hound riding shotgun on deliveries. Anyway, the store is out in the boonies. But if you're around the area/looking for a country drive it's a great place to stop in. Wendy and whatever relative/friend is working can give you a rundown on pretty much every product in there. Plus it's in an old school house with lots of the original interior. Neato.
