Toronto's Best & Cheapest Produce

I'm a staunch believer in the "7 before 11" model of fruit consumption - that's 7 servings of fruit before 11am if possible. Needless to say, I barrel through a junkload of fruit in a week's time. These small fruit markets have the best selection, highest quality and cheapest prices in the city!

1. John's Fruit Village

It may officially be called "John's Food Village" on paper, but to locals to BWV (that's Bloor West Village!) it's simply referred to as "John's" or "that fruit market on Armadale". Yes, there are many fruit markets in the ten blocks that span BWV -…More »

Next to John's Food Village (the farthest WEST fruit market in Bloor West Village), Carload has the best produce in the neighbourhood. They always have the best green beans and bell peppers, not to mention the TOP price per pound on cherries.…More »

Olympia Fruit Market has the NUMBER ONE selection of avocados in the entire city. I defy you to find better, more perfectly ripe and buttery avocados anywhere. No more waiting around for days on end for your avocados to ripen so you can have a bowl…More »

This is one of my top five fruit markets in the city and I only discovered it because the TTC failed at Dundas West one day and I had to get out and walk the extra stop to my home (thanks TTC!). Yes, the cashier will never make eye contact with you…More »

I'm the type of person that loves to grocery shop in the first place, so when I heard the news that a new 'healthy' grocery store was opening in my neighbourhood, I was thrilled. The Sweet Potato makes grocery shopping a truly wonderful experience.…More »

When I was riding by on the Queen streetcar and saw Carload's signature yellow and red signage I literally lept out of my seat and instructed the driver to let me off immediately. Could it be?? A duplicate of Carload in Bloor West Village (…More »

Along with Carload and John's Fruit Village on Armadale, Green Thumb rounds out the triple threat of produce markets in Bloor West Village. You can comparison shop between the three of them, and I highly recommend it for these three hot ticket items:…More »

I'm surprised the mint here doesn't have a bigger ego because it definitely deserves a superiority complex. It's shit hot. Firm, velvety and over-the-top full 'n luscious. I've never seen fresh mint like this. And since it's mojito and tropical fruit…More »
