In early July 2023, I visited the Vankleek Hill Farmers Market and was pleasantly surprised.

The Ottawa Parkdale Market is an all year round market. The spring, summer and fall are the best times of the year for obvious reasons. When I worked at Tunney’s Pasture I used to go to the market a few times a week at lunch time. It was the perfect place to get groceries for […]
