I went to meet up with Danielle Piche from Maple Syrup and Poutine blog and gang last night at our very first Cooking Club meeting and I tossed the question about getting fresh local and preferably organic produce around town. Everyone had something to say about the Windsor Market and I was completely lost.
Luckily for me, Danielle had written about the 2 markets in Windsor on Food Network whereby I could gleefully shop away to stock up my crispers in my fridge.
Fresh produce is extremely important to moi, a vegetarian. Since moving to Windsor in November I had been cringing at the sight of semi-limp state of vegetables at the grocery store. These sorry vegetables even cost about 30% more than in the U.S.
Anyway, here are the two places where you could probably find me on Saturday mornings from now on…
