Greetings Reader -
May through to November we have the luxury of shopping for fruits, vegetables and flowers at Rutherford’s farm & fruit market. The farm is a 5min walk from our house and the road we travel on runs directly behind the farm fields. Not only do they grow their own fruits & vegetables but last summer they extended their bakery products to include fresh bread as well as pies, tarts, cookies. You can also pick up ice cream, local maple syrup, local produce and their greenhouse offers flowers and plants for most of the season… they do make room for pumpkins come October. And what makes Rutherford’s just about the coolest fruit market for kids….3 llamas, 2 golden retrievers, a few cats and some chickens. During strawberry & fresh peas season we visit daily. JR does chores to ensure a loonie for a bunch of carrots to feed to his furry friends. Who doesn’t love farm freshness!
Here are a few snaps of the animals at the market….plus a few of Dad and JR shopping for plants.
