A flood of farmers’ markets

Source: National PostTORONTO • Light rain begins to patter on the high metal roof over the Brick Works Farmers' Market. The cavernous space dotted with market stands is suddenly flush with customers who have dashed in from the nature walk, face painting table and cob-making workshop. The crowd is almost elbow-to-elbow, but not quite. There are lineups - well, short ones - to check out the organic meat, nab a bag of sprouts and wait for a bowl of spicy hot chic peas.
That was 11:30 a.m. An hour later, the place is nearly empty. Was market day a success? Sort of. The organic beets have long sold out, the breakfast burrito guy must be ready to collapse, but there are still lots of peaches left on display.
