The number of participants emailing us with their suggestions is also high. Below are a few of the suggestions that arrived in my inbox recently.
Leanne Brum had this suggestion about her weekend find:
This past Saturday, my husband and I made a trip to Sussman's in Arthur. The ladies there recommended a lovely spot for lunch. Shepherd's Watch 100 Mile Market is a unique shop that features all local products including meat, artisan sheep cheese (their own), baked goods, grains, pastas, vegetables, fruits and well as local crafts. We had an amazing lunch on their front porch and left with a big bag of stuff.
As part of a day trip to Elora, this would make a wonderful stop for anyone looking for a something special.
If you would like to reach them, their e-mail address is sauve@wrightman.ca and they are located at 211 Smith St., Arthur. Lynda and Carol were extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
We thought the 100 Mile Club would appreciate this information.
Heather McDiarmid noticed this CBC article today on five Sobey’s grocery stores that decided to form an independent grocery store co-op because they found Sobey’s purchasing policies too restrictive and wanted to offer more local produce. Unfortunately none of them are in KW.
If you check out that article, watch the video on Canadian wines that is offered in the margin. The story is pointing out how so many Canadian wines are “cellared” in Canada, but grown with imported grapes.
Participant Michelle Herrle had this to offer about her store:
And Almut Pfenning also contacted us. Here is what she said:
Thanks everyone!
