FARMER'S BOUNTY

Joy and anxiety abound on the farmer’s face
Ever so cheerful and eager
It’s time now to savour
The harvest of his labour.

There is an aptly named quaint lane called Market Lane, in the Distillery Historic District, Toronto. This area is a popular tourist attraction. Every Sunday in the summer season farmers from different places in Ontario travel to the District to sell home grown fresh fruits and great variety of vegetables and other produce. Home made pickles, relishes, chutneys, jams and honey are also sold.
The Distillery District is an historic district to the east of downtown Toronto, Canada. It comprises of 40 heritage buildings and 10 streets. The buildings are reminiscent of a Gothic design and Victorian architecture in North America.
The district once housed the Gooderham and Worts distillery, founded in 1832. It was the largest distillery in the world providing over 2 millions gallons of whisky exported on the world market.
