OUR FINDS

Rockwood, Ontario Toronto - May 18th, 2021 - During Alex and I’s venture to the two predetermined farm’s we visited two weekends ago, we came across what looked like a roadside vegetable stand while driving south down 5th line. As I passed the stand (we drove in separate cars because #SocialDistancing), I peered into my rearview mirror to see if Alex spotted it as well. I could see his turn signals flickering as he proceeded to make a U-turn which pretty much answered my ques

Hampton, Ontario Toronto - May 13th, 2021 - Remember that scenic route I told you about last week on a drive from Courtice to Bowmanville? Well the intended purpose of that route was to visit Pingle’s Farm Market. As someone who never shies away from a photo opportunity, Pingle’s was added to my list the second I saw its photos online. Driving east down Taunton Road on a sunny afternoon, it is very hard to miss Pingle’s as you approach. To your right appears 148 acres of farm

Stouffville, Ontario Toronto - May 10th, 2021 - Last week, before heading home from #VaccinationStation in Newmarket, Ontario, I did a quick Google search to find a spot to pick up eggs nearby. At my house, we go through a carton of eggs a week, at a minimum. To my delight, Diversity Farms located in Stouffville, 15 minutes from my current location, popped up on the map. I quickly clicked the destination and started my drive to the farm. My GPS took me left off of Woodbine Av

Belwood, Ontario Toronto - May 9th, 2021 - After last week’s #FarmFail, Alex and I were determined to successfully visit some of the farms on our bucket list this weekend. By way of recommendation from a friend, we came across Salad Days Farm and added it to the top of our list. To our luck, this weekend was the farm’s opening weekend! Located in Belwood, Ontario, about one hour away from my home in Etobicoke, I woke up bright and early (for a Saturday) and scurried out the

Clarington, Ontario Toronto - May 7th, 2021 - I would be lying if I said I didn't have a spoonful of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water every morning (for the last four years, at least). I would also be lying if I said I didn't jump on the apple cider band wagon the second I heard it could aid in weight loss. Despite the pitiable reason I started, there are a ton of proven health benefits connected to consuming apple cider vinegar regularly. I could list these reasons

Munich, Germany Toronto - May 5th, 2021 - You and your friends are getting off the train at Munich Central Station after an eight hour ride from Milan. With no fret about your wrinkled clothes, greasy skin, and 30lb backpack, there’s a smile on your face and beer on your mind. Your group of six makes way by foot to Rathaus-Glockenspiel (Munich’s Town Hall and the infamous clock tower). The streets are a sea of locals and tourists, all priming their livers for the Oktoberfest

Monterosso al Mare, Italy Toronto - April 26th, 2021 - It’s early on a Saturday morning and you and a few friends have just arrived at Monterosso al Mare, one of the five villages in Cinque Terre. As the sun is rising above the cliffs, and the temperature is slowing lifting, you commence your hike across the Italian Riviera. You’re drenched in sweat, and your water bottle went from room temperature to a low boil (real quick). Your focus is shifting between panting with a dire

Stayner, Ontario Toronto - April 29th, 2021 - It’s a Sunday morning on a hot summer day in August, and you and the girl friends are packing up after a girls weekend in cottage country. You’re tired (from the whole staying up all night, drinking rose, and singing to each other thing), hungry, and itching for a shower and your bed. With no where but home in mind, you pile in the car, put your music on shuffle, and hit the road. Just as you regret not stopping for food before yo
