Just a little heads up for this week! ☕️

Geoff is away Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I’ll be holding down the fort solo.

We’ll be open from 8am to 4pm those days with plenty of fresh baking, scratch-made bagels and cream cheese, coffee, lemonade, and cold drinks ready to go.

Our regular lunch menu will take a short break and return next week.

Thank you for supporting our little scratch-made shop. I can’t wait to see you this week! ❤️

June 1–7 is Local Food Week, and there’s no better place to celebrate than at the Codrington Farmers’ Market, where you’ll find an incredible selection of locally grown and produced foods.
Fresh seasonal vegetables and fruit arrive as they ripen, including peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, beets, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, apples, strawberries, and much more. Looking for locally raised meat? Visit Dang Beef for a full range of beef cuts, or stop by Century Game Park for bison and elk products, along with their popular pepperettes and smoked pork chops.
Don’t forget to pick up the ever-popular maple syrup and honey products.
Need sauces and condiments to complete your meal? Be sure to check out Basoli Sauces, Mi Cocina, and Vegg Up. These vendors proudly use locally sourced ingredients to create their delicious products.
Thank you for supporting local food vendors. Your purchases help local businesses grow, strengthen our local economy, and keep more dollars circulating within our communities.
