As a mother of a child who is obsessed with any and all type of fruit, I have unfortunately eaten my fair share of imported strawberries during the winter months.  Every summer after visiting the local Farmers’ Markets I am reminded just how good locally grown fresh produce can taste.  I encourage you to visit the local West End Toronto Farmers Markets this summer, and comment below with your favourite finds!  Here are my favourite Summer Farmers Markets for 2016!
