Farm Fresh

As a family we are trying to eat more local, and organic foods as much as possible. So each weekend we head out to Barrie Hill Farms, and Nicolyn Farms to pick up some food for the week. 

Barrie Hill Farms is such a great place to go, during specific times of the year they have pick your own, so we always stock up on strawberries for smoothies and jam for the year, we have also picked blueberries, pumpkins, and raspberries. Although we are looking forward to picking those items in the months to come, this trip we enjoyed asparagus, and fiddle heads (well just Todd enjoyed these).

Nicolyn Farms is a local organic market, you can get everything from meat, cheese, baked goods, flour, etc. One of our favourite's from here is their chicken burgers, and planked salmon. 

Now we do shop at Zehrs, and Costco as well, but we do try and support local farmers each week!
