So on our way back from visiting some friends in London, we stopped by the most amazing place ever. No really, it was like Canada’s Wonderland for foodies.  The place is the Ferket Tomatoes and Vegetable Farm (U-Pick) in Mt. Brydges Ontario. Can you believe we brought home all this wonderful produce for less than $20? What’s even better, is that we picked it ourseleves.  It was such an amazing experience to run through the fields, giggling over which peppers to pick, which eggplants were ours, and which beans would eventually become dinner.  Maybe it’s because I live in a rather large urban center, but the thought of eating produce, that I personally selected earlier that day, for dinner brings me such joy.

Fresh, fresh Vegetables

If you get a chance to get out to Ferket’s (maybe next summer), it is certainly a great place to spend a day. Be prepared to get a little dirty (isn’t that half the fun?).  This was truly local food at it’s core, and it made me really happy.  Now, you can see how there should be a follow-up blog post on what the bleep we did with all this food right? (We’re working our way through the sauces now).  I’ll have to be sure to write that post soon.
