For those looking to do some local produce shopping, you’ve come to the right place.
Of the several quality options to choose from is County Left Farm, owned by Angelina Reesor and Kyle Warren who happened to have met at a farmers market themselves. They began to harvest produce together out of their own three-acre farm, growing kale, beets, and radishes among others, which are fresh and available for purchase at the market.

You can quench your thirst with a selection of summer beverages from vendors like Saulter Street Brewery, featuring English Ale or strawberry sours, and Palatine Hills Winery, offering Niagara region red and white wines. The local drinks accompanied by live music give the underpass a true summer vibe.
