The Farmers' Market

Atwater Market in Montreal
is one of the best farmers' markets I've ever been to.
It has many specialty purveyors of fine cheeses, meats, vegetables, incredible artisan breads,fruit, fish, flowers, and pretty much anything
you can think of that comes from the farm, field, or forest.
To visit is to feast with the eyes, and to wander slowly past the colourful displays...
a little taste here, a sip there, and before you know it, an hour has gone by.
The shopping basket is bursting, and you feel connected to the fabulous food you're about to enjoy..local flavour meant to savour.
The birds like it too.
