Sure, Toronto boasts large-scale farmers’ markets like the St. Lawrence Market or Evergreen Brick Works. But come summer, smaller versions start popping up on neighbourhood street corners and in church parking lots, peddling perfectly in-season corn, crisp lettuce and fresh cheeses from local vendors. We stopped by the thriving Borden Street bazaar in the Annex to chat with market-goers about the natural high you get from smelling fresh fruits and veggies and the romance of it all (thanks, Joe Cressy).
