Roadtrip! St. Jacob’s Farmer’s Market
This past weekend, my friend S (along with friends I and F) suggested taking a short road trip to St. Jacob’s farmer’s market. Located about 90 minutes west of Toronto, the town of St. Jacob’s farmer’s market is a fantastic outdoor and indoor market full of vegetable farmer’s selling mostly Ontario produce; butchers specializing in sausage and pepperettes; and cheese purveyors. Across the street is an antique market and a small factory outlet. However, the market is especially known for its apple fritters. I’ve visited the market a number of times in the past and every time I go, the apple fritters stall in the small indoor food court has a long line snaking around the building. This time though, we decided to go bright and early in the morning, 7am to be exact, and to my joy there was only a few people in line for apple fritters! So after many tries, I finally got my hands on some apple fritters! And they completely lived up to its reputation – they are thick apple rings that are dipped in a donut-like batter, deep fried and then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar! Delicious! Check it out!
