Fresh figs in Toronto?

[molly82]

Hello all,
Does anyone know where you can find fresh figs in Toronto? Preferably downtown, but I'll go far if needed. I searched Kensington, Chinatown, Metro, and several independent grocers unsuccessfully.
Thank you very much!

I just spoke with Lady York Foods (Dufferin & Lawrence), and they have fresh figs, 5/pack for $4.99.

not exactly downtown but they have it at mcewan.

Thank you everyone!
I got some at Fiesta Farms, and they were great. Mushy and sweet!
I might try the whole foods at Yorkville as well.

I just bought some last week at the new Longo's Market on Dundas, just west of Bay.

I also saw some fresh figs at Arz Fine Foods and Bakery at Lawrence/near Warden
1909 Lawrence Avenue East 416-755-5084 Great price too!

I saw some last night at Maple Produce on Roncesvalles (at Fermanagh)

They have been avaialble since early June around Logan and Danforth. I bought two pint boxes of mission figs yesterday. Most stores have them at 2 boxes for $4.

I saw some at the Metro at College Park (Yonge & College) this morning right next to the blueberries, strawberries etc.

I saw nice looking ones at Costco today. Closest would be Queensway, or Yorkdale (Wilson east of Dufferin.

I just saw them at my Loblaw's at Yonge and Yonge Blvd. The uptown Pusateri's always has them, too, so the downtown store will likely have them.

Fiesta Farms has tons of them on sale! Just saw them yesterday. Looked very lovely.

Also saw them at Fiesta Farms. In flats or individually.

Not downtown but I did see a couple of cases of fresh figs at Lady York on Dufferin between Glencairn & Lawrence on Saturday.

[molly82]

Thank you!!! Will go look.

Also not downtown, but Highland Farms seems to have fresh figs quite often. I saw flats of black California figs last week.

I saw really nice onces at Fiesta Farms last week. I had a friend in from Calgary and he bough two whole flats to take back with him. His dad loves fresh figs (it was his b-day) and he cannot find them in Calgary, which I thought was a little stange.

Calgary is a produce wasteland...despite the proximity to the Okanagan, produce is generally sub-par in cow-town.

[acd123]

That's weird. Unless the produce is brought to town on stagecoach, there should be the same stuff in Calgary as there is in TO. It's all brought in by trucks and planes anyway.

[grandgourmand]

I'm sure there are figs somewhere in Calgary...but the demand isn't as prevalent as it is in toronto, so it's not all over the place and probably a much higher price.

I lived there for four years...I always found it weird that Okanagan stuff was so difficult to find. I'm sure things have changed since then, but I don't think by much (I go back every so often).
