Here are a few vignettes and
photos taken at the Welland, Ontario Farmers' Market . The official
location is
Welland Market Square, 50 Market Square, Welland, Ontario.
The shoppers are a varied
bunch. I heard several languages being spoken: English, French, Polish,
Russian, Italian and Portuguese. It was wonderful to hear everyone talk
and rejoice at the bounty of the season.
The produce was beautiful and
soooo fresh. I was glad to see some heirloom vegetables and free
range meat for sale there as well. I wish that there were more vendors of
heirloom veggies. The taste is heirloom vegetables is so superior to the
modernized hybrids so as to be a different vegetable.
The market reminded me of the
justifiably renowned Atwater Market in Montreal and that is a good thing.
This is very much a community market - I advise that you be there by noon
on Saturdays as the place is usually vacated by 2:00 p.m.

The Welland Farmers Market is a
strong contender for the best Farmers Market in the Niagara Region.
