Caledon Farmer's Market

So I got to the Farmer's Market..
Bert indeed did still have Lamb Spiedini - $1 each.  I got 25 - good for tomorrow night' s barbecue with the neighbours!

Biscotti Shoppe was there and I got 4 lemoncello biscotti - perfect for my tea!  They are organic and made with spelt flour - so I can finally enjoy! www.thebiscottishoppe.ca/  I have to say - the very best.

I wandered and saw the most gorgeous items, stained glass - but in plates... absolutely stunning... but I had my budget - ( I can catch that later perhaps! - as long as Ian doesn't find out!)

There was a lovely woman selling organic produce, onions, large zucchini  (ZUCCHINI BREAD!)(****will make a post just for that) and the most massive kale... (YES I BOUGHT KALE.... the boys will kill me!)   However it is for the guests tomorrow - Kale chips...

Got the Lamb, wandered still to the other side, discovered a lovely woman selling mushrooms - what a selection!  Got them in a small quantity as my son Jordan hates mushrooms - but he has learned to eat them on the rare occasions that I make them. 

On to the pastry and tart man - they were to die for - who ever sees 3 KINDS OF BUTTER TARTS?  I have a dear friend who lives in Minnesota - and whenever he comes to Canada - one of the first things he looks for are butter tarts!  YOU CAN'T BUY THEM IN THE U.S.!!  When he comes up next year - I will get him a nice little supply.....  I bought 2 for my boys - but I alas I can't eat them as they are wheat.  I asked if they ever considered spelt... this delightful man - said he could look into it!  Imagine butter tarts that I can eat?  Tarts period that I could eat - I DOOOOO miss them. 

If there are more of you out - there - ask him!  If there is a market - he would do it I am sure!  I wonder what other flour could be used??  Gluten free..... hmmmm... maybe that gram flour....damn those chickpeas again!

Green Peppers, the fabulous dried sausages...

What lovely stroll through a wonderful group of local vendors!

Get out there and support them!
