Farmer's Market
Hello Everyone!
I hope you all have enjoyed your summer. I can’t believe it is already September. It seems like on the first day of September it is no longer summer but fall (autumn). It is still very hot in Montreal; it was +31°C today.
One thing that I love about summer and fall in Montreal is the farmer’s market. These are my favourite places to go wander in the afternoon on a Saturday or Sunday. I always feel like cooking and eating when I am surrounded by such delicious looking produce (fresh fruit and vegetables).
In Montreal there are 2 main markets that people go to, Atwater Market and Jean Talon Market. Both are amazing and I love exploring them both. You can find fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, cheese, and meats.
September and October are harvest months in Quebec. Harvest time is when most of the fruit and vegetables are ready to be picked and are taken to the markets. It is a time when markets are full of delicious apples, pumpkins and potatoes.
I have added some pictures from my last visit to Atwater market for you all to enjoy. Also in case you are wondering, mais is French for corn.

Of all the podcasts with 'real world' English examples, I like yours the best. Maybe its the fun you put into the lessons. The students can here that in your voices. And they also feel your dedication to what you are doing - it's just not a job you do, but a gift you give to everyone who listens. And while the students like the Lipservice PDFs for all the information it contains, as a teacher I am impressed by the professional effort put into making them. I give the Culips podcast and the Culips crew my highest recommendation, both as a teacher, and a listener.
