I can buy these Lakeside Pickles, made in Harrow, Ontario, at Sobeys, Remark Market in London or Windsor, and at Doris Family Produce at the London Ontario Covent Garden Market downtown.
I have tried the European style Dills (which happen to be low sodium), Bread & Butter pickles, Cowboy Candy (pickled and candied jalapeños) and green relish so far. Happy with everything I’ve tried.
The downtown district where the Goose, the butcher shop, and Dutch Boys are located is very small. The downtown area is good for walking. There are a few quaint B & Bs in the residential area across from the Goose, which look nice.
Lee and Maria’s is located on Highway 3 / the Talbot Trail, just outside of town. That stretch feels more rural. There around a dozen market stands between Kingsville and Leamington.
I’ll send you some non- food thoughts in a DM.
If you’re heading in that direction, I would also recommend a visit to Amherstburg. It’s around a 20 minute drive from Kingsville. Amherstburg was a little too far for our day trip from London, since we were taking highway 3 all the way back through Blenheim.
I would have gone to Amherstburg if we were staying overnight in Essex County.
Point Pelee is also worth visiting and it has a nice boardwalk for walking.
I think Lee and Maria’s charges a premium, but I think that premium is worth it. Lee and Maria’s also has some seconds of some produce available at a cheaper price near their cash register.
I should have written Seacliff Drive, not Hwy 3. Seacliff Drive is the regional road dotted with produce stands that joins Kingsville and Leamington. Lee and Maria’s is located at 692 Seacliff Drive.
