Kits Farmers Market

One of my favourite parts of Spring, Summer and Fall are the Farmers Markets around town.  They make for a fun outing, the food is so fresh and flavourful, you get to buy locally and organically directly from the grower, and it challenges you to learn how to cook what's in season.  Way better than any grocery store I've ever been to!  So, if you're looking for a fun outing, or a new way to grocery shop, make your way to the farmers market closest to you!
