Stittsville's Carp Road Flea Market — Local services in Ottawa

I love this place, and I catch myself here about once a month. First, I have to hit "Grandma Moses" because her home-made dill pickles are the best I've found after years of searching. If you find better ones, please let me know! Her jams and preserves are awesome, so I bring the empty (clean) jars back for a trade-in whenever my stockpile goes low. "Brian and Jenny's books" is terrific, and we found a treasure trove for the kids this past Christmas. 50 cents for a book that sells at Chapter's for $17.99. The selection is huge! Then I hit the used video game corner because honestly, why would I pay $90 for a game that the kids will get bored of within a week? Most games are $10 to $20, and the guys there have all of the old-school games and machines from my spoiled youth.

Rustic and crowded and lots of random stuff. Parking is hard and limited, Carp Rd is super busy... this place need a safety committee! Outside vendors seem to number between 10 to 20, sometimes interesting deals appear. Inside the building there's a jammed packed mix vendor selection.

Next favorite vendor is Grandma Moses, a wonderful lady selling jams, relishes and jelly. Always interesting to see the bric and brack. Good selection of video games in far...
