Ottawa Foodies

Made my first visit here for Summer 2008 on Saturday. It was their annual Corn Fest Day.

I bought some corn (1/2 Dozen) from Hudson's Farm they were the "Maple Sweet" variety, and 6 cost $ 2.50, while a Baker's Dozen sold for $ 5.00 I only saw a couple of other vendors selling corn, and everyone else was selling 12 ears for $ 6.00 I noticed that Hudson's Farms was also selling some corn relish for $ 7.00 a jar. Other than that I didn't see much "corn themed" stuff.

Got a Quart of Yellow Beans for $ 4.00 from Acorn Creek Garden Farm, and also a large garlic bulb for $ 2.00 They also had some garlic braids (cheaper per bulb than individually) but I decided to put that purchase off until farther into the Fall.

Back Forty Cheese was absent, and Lil' Cakes was pretty much sold out except for cookies by Noon.
:-(

I was disappointed by the "Bacon on a Bun" that I ordered off one of the food vendors, but have since been informed (thank you Chimichimi) that you have to arrive earlier in the day to get the "good stuff", because although back bacon or peameal is available you have to ask for it (before it sells out).

Hopefully, I'll get back once or twice before the market's season ends at the end of October.
