beefstake tomatos where?

[erly]

So far this Season I have found Beefsteaks only at Metro, of all places
Two in a Box.
Have purchased them several times there.
Anywhere else?
I have tried the various Heirlooms but nothing tastes like a Beefsteak

Picked up some fabulous beefstake tomatoes at the Leslieville Farmers Market (Sundays 9-2). Farmer was from Picton Ontario, but I can't remember his name.

Have never been to the Leslieville Market, but will go the Sunday.
Thanks.
Anything else worthwhile there?

Oh...this place is great!!

French breads and croissants that took me back to Paris, enjoyed with a Green Mountain coffee was a great start to the day. Two organic meat farmers, Tiffinday is there as well. Picked up some great sheeps-milk cheeses and home made summer sausage. Hooked has a table with their wild fishies, Loic has their gluten-free tarts and cookies, Canadian Pie company has both savoury and sweet pies...didn't indulge but my SO thoroughly enjoyed the fresh blueberry tarts I brought home for him!

There is also a place to pick up mixed cut-up melons in a cup, a guy making waffles while you wait, loads of fresh fruit and veggies, some out of the ordinary. They had a band that started up around 10:30 - 11 am, and there was yoga for the kids.

Overall enjoyable, and I'll be back to indulge this Sunday again...good vibe and family/dog friendly.

are you certain that they were Beefsteak,
Saw Bushels of Field Tomatoes last time I was there but have never seen Beefsteaks by the Bushel anywhere.
