What are we going to do now! If this market goes by the way of progress then it will be sorely missed. After 30 years in the same general vicinity (Weston Road and Major Mackenzie Drive) the owners and operators of this fine market are considering a change. "My mom will never sell but there will be a time when it will have to go... So claims Joanne Russo; daughter and co-operator of the market. "I'm getting tired of the demands..." she exclaims. Nevertheless, they're remaining for this summer. With an abundance of wonderful product all homegrown from their own lands; they're going to keep the tradition alive, at least for a little while longer.
The tomatoes, green hot chilies are amazing, just see what I do with them ( Sergio's Tomato Salad), everything else from eggplants to herbs can be sought. Select bonus fair such as homemade pies are also available in limited supply. Its part of the scenery, the signboard that's been a landmark since I was in my teens, will be missed by the dear patrons who frequent the grounds on a regular basis.
As a long time Realtor of 25 years in the area, I can summons a buyer in short order but may want to offer a lease back arrangement for selfish reasons. If you haven't yet been a customer, you're really missing out on a Woodbridge tradition, and I recommend you make the pilgrimage.
They're open every day from 8am -7pm till late fall. Bring your children; bring a grocery bag and camera, and one day you will look fondly to a place that is no more.
