If you haven’t been out to your local Farmers Markets lately than you should definitely get out to the Georgetown Farmers Market tomorrow. With the last of the Ontario raspberries and the first of the Ontario melons there couldn’t be a better time. Late July also means the arrival of Ontario corn.

Corn is never nearly as good as when you have it fresh picked and onto your barbecue in less than a day. The sugars in corn break down very quickly so the corn that you find imported the other 10-11 months a year just can’t compare in taste to the fresh sweet Ontario corn we get for such a short time. We have a special treat for our Georgetown box this week as Busy Liz will be supplying us with some delicious corn fresh from her fields.

From Halton Region this week: Busy Liz’s corn, green beans and beets, Marshall’s real Farmers Market Kale, Broccoli and Cauliflower from Saliba Produce. The Georgetown box is 100% Ontario for the first time this year with plenty of ultra local produce inside!
