It’s the first week of autumn and while the days have still been sunny and mild, the nights have been chilly, with many people having already turned on the furnace once or twice to ease the transition. Pretty soon we’ll experience the first frost (I know, Ouch!) and dare I say that 4 letter word? SNOW?!?

Autumn is setting in. If you look closely, you can see the leaves already starting to change colour and there is a certain crispness to the morning air. I hope you had an enjoyable summer! Since it’s the season of harvest, and since I absolutely LOVE the neighbourhood, I wanted to share with you a great way to spend a Tuesday afternoon this fall. The Trinity Bellwoods Farmer’s Market takes place every Tuesday afternoon, rain or shine, from 3pm to 7pm until the end of October. This small but charming market is farmer focused and strives to educate the local community in the foods they eat, the source in which it comes and how it is grown and/or prepared.
