Can’t wait to check it out! It’s September and the farmers’ market was at its most colourful. The harvest is in and the variety of produce was phenomenal. We brought home: sweet peppers (yellow, green, red & purple) There is no shortage of farmers’ markets in Toronto. But despite my interest in fresh, local produce, I haven’t been able to find one that is both conveniently located for me and on a day that I can go. At the beginning of the summer I thought I could go to the farmers’ market at [...] We discovered a new place today.

 Hi, I'm Alexandra. Born in Brazil, Canadian by choice, and having lived in exciting Barcelona for a year between 2006 and 2007, my earliest childhood memories revolve around food and food is what I remember most about every place I’ve ever lived.
