Saturday Morning Markets

So my friend Nick from North Bay happens to be residing in Toronto to finish his degree @ Ryerson.  You need to know that because Nick is a great amigo and even better at finding really cool places with a bucket load of history in pretty much any city.

On this particular Saturday morning we decided to check out the Wychwood markets located at St. Clair West and Bathurst in the b-e-a-utiful city of Toronto.

Nick told me all about how this used to be where the Street Cars would go for repairs etc. and how when the community (mainly his Aunt and Uncle) decided to change this useless and Vacant building into a community centre they did things like use two different colours of concrete to outline the original tracks.  Now this space is used for these markets, a community kitchen, artist houses and so much more.  There is even a “Grandmothers Garden” area in the summer where you have a garden for each background and typical things growing.  For example, the Italian Grandma would have cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, and the Jamaican Grandma would have scotch bonnets and fresh Thyme.

I was starving after my brief history lesson so we decided to get some grub and hustle it up for break that morning!  Check out what we had!

This was a delicious breakfast for champions with Fresh Bread, Cheesey Telaggio Scarmbled Eggs and smoked back bacon!  Yum!

It was really nice to have fresh and local produce all in one place.  Check out more places to purchase great produce here.
