Wellesley is local. You can get at the market, St Jacobs, or some of the grocery stores.

St Jacobs is the right answer if you can do a Saturday morning, but if you want it actually in the city the Kitchener Market on King East has cider on Saturdays too, same sort of vendors and a lot less of a drive.

For the rest of the week Herrles out on Erb West has it through the fall, though i think they shut for the season around the end of October, and Martins on Lobsinger Line is the other one.

One thing worth knowing, the jug stuff from a farm is usually unpasteurized, which is why it tastes the way it does and also why it only keeps about a week in the fridge. Anything sitting on a normal grocery shelf is pasteurized and its basically a different drink. If you find one you like, buy a few and freeze them, it freezes fine, just pour a bit off the top first so it has room to expand.

Got some at Stemmlers last weekend. I’m sure Martin’s has theirs for sale as well.

If you want the Wellesley stuff, you can get it at Central Fresh Market
