August in Ontario Resort and Cottage Country…

With 2 months of summer left in 2006, it is time to take advantage of the fresh Ontario harvest bounty by visiting a farmers' market or stopping at the sweet corn stands as they pop up along the Highway 400 and Highway 11 corridors north of Toronto. The sale of farm fresh produce and the favorite, wild blueberries, along with field tomatoes and fresh produce is a gourmet delight. Going to and from your favorite resort destination in cottage country is always a fun time in August.
