It appears that I am somewhat behind the ball - I could have sworn that the Sorauren Park Farmer's Market started tomorrow, but it turns out that it's been up and running since May 11.
If you live in the Parkdale/Roncesvalles/High Park area, you'll want to check out this market. It's located just southwest of Lansdowne and Dundas.
Directions and a full list of vendors can be found here. I'm disappointed that Montforte Dairy don't seem to be vending this year, because they make the most wonderful cheeses. Wasabi cheddar and sheep's milk cheese rolled in lavender are two of my particular favourites. I am very pleased, however, that Field Sparrow Farms has returned. They sell certified organic Angus beef. We bought a 20 lb freezer box last year, and walked away with enough steaks, roasts, stewing meat and ground beef to last us for the fall and winter. In fact, we're still working our way through it, and they threw in some free soup bones too.
Deer Valley Venison Farm is also back. I bought some stewing venison last year and tried my hand at braised venison with cherries this past winter. It turned out so well that I can't wait to get some other cuts of venison and try them out.
The market runs from 3 - 7 every Monday until late October.

Went to Brickworks Farmers' Market this past weekend and was impressed with the layout although confused about where the vendors were since my memory of last year's layout is still too fresh! Looking forward to going to the Sorauren Park Farmers' Market this upcoming Monday. :)
