Some local food places in my area

 There are some fun places to visit in the area around where I live. I'm going to miss being able to go to most of them when winter hits.

This is where I go to buy most of my food through the majority of the year. There are some things you can't get there, like yoghurt, but the quality of meat, cheese and veggies makes up for that. Also, there's a bulk food stall (which won't be back until the burnt-down building is rebuilt in a couple months) that has pretty darn good prices, and a particularly finely-ground almond flour that is good in baking.

This family-run orchard is almost within walking distance of me. They have a well-stocked store that also offers some other things than apples.

I went to Lyndon Fisheries with my dad a few weeks ago, and it was a nice afternoon. It is definitely a great place to take young kids to learn how to fish. The taste of the fish, however, was kinda not so nice- really fatty, and there was just something not tasty about it. It might be fun to host an event there sometime, though.

Herrles is a farm-stand store that is open seasonally and offers local produce. They're closed now for the season.

Nauman's has pumpkins. Lots 'n lots of pumpkins. Plus, a corn maze. I go there to pick strawberries and raspberries in the summer. Nice folks.

*THE* place to find local farms and food in our region. The mapping feature is particularly helpful.
