There is a new farmer’s market in town. I recently started to shop at the Symons Valley Farmer’s Market. It is a small market, but I was really impressed with the quality and variety of the vendors. My favourites are Blue Olive oil and Vinegars, Simple Simon pies and Papa Choclat. It really has a small town market feel. Check it out!
