St. Jacobs Market

So many berries!!
Mom picks out a  cabbage.
Whenever I travel, one of my main objectives is to visit as many food outlets as I can find! The St. Jacobs Farmers Market in Ontario is the ultimate jackpot! There is so much food there and it looks so good that you just want to buy everything! I went this morning with my mom and was pleased to see a ton of local Ontario produce. Lots of cherries, berries and peaches to choose from and a big selection of fresh vegetables as well. We picked up peaches of course, some carrots, potatoes and cabbage and also fresh corn for dinner. We stopped at the Hilltop Acres Poultry Products and picked up some garlic turkey sausage to go with the corn as well.
Corn and sausage on the plate!

The corn and sausage went on the BBQ later in the day. I slow roasted the corn, brushing it with sage butter near the end and grilled the sausage, basting it with pomegranate molasses when it browned. A bit of fresh greens went with the corn and the salad and I washed that all down with a cold Organic Lager (or two!) from Mill St. Brewery. Great meal.
