Organic Food - Part II

By Noah

A beautiful sunny March afternoon spent in Whole Foods Market in the heart of Yorkville, and I felt positively on top of the world. I had a grocery cart brimming with veggies, fruits, meats, bread, cereal, nuts and pastas – and all of them had the word ORGANIC plastered on their side. After some 30 minutes wandering the aisles of this aesthetically stunning grocery store staring at rows upon rows of produce, it dawned on me that it looked somewhat identical to any other grocery store, with 2 major differences.

A) Almost everything was organic.

Sweet.

B) Everything was uber expensive.

Not so sweet.

St. Lawrence Farmer's Market

By Braeden

Every Saturday from 5am to 5pm at the St. Lawrence Farmers Market, you can find local food at an affordable price (we’re talking pocket change affordable). While the daily “South Market” is a bit on the pricey side for weekly groceries, you can find baskets of local carrots, turnips, potatoes, and apples for $1 to $2 at the North/Farmer’s Market. Not only can you buy high quality, local ingredients, but you’re also helping to support the local agricultural communities that surround Toronto.
