When we ventured out to Prince Edward County this Winter, we wanted to revisit some of the places we loved back in 2010. What really made the trip, however, were some of the new things that we discovered. 66 Gilead Distillery was one of them.

Kitchener and St. Jacob’s Markets – Part 2: To market, to market
With a long weekend coming up, we decided to plan a low-key trip someplace close. Our trip ended up being an odd blend of childhood memories and grown up relaxation.
We decided to check out the Kitchener Market, which I haven’t been to in about 20 years. To be totally honest, I thought that it and the St. Jacob’s Farmers’ Market were the same thing for a long time.

Ryerson Farmers’ Market – Day 1
Today was the first day of the Ryerson Farmers’ Market, right out in the middle of the pedestrian zone on Gould St.
Ever since they first closed the street off to traffic, I have been hoping there would be a farmers’ market. Only a little bit hampered by the construction happening on Gould right now, the market got off to a great start with a handful of local farmers and producers. I can only imagine how great it will be once the construction is over, and the market is able to flower. So great!
