1. Creemore 100 Mile Store
The name says it all! Discover locally grown produce and an assortment of regional specialties — from maple syrup to fresh milk, plus meats and fish.
2. K2 Milling
Did you know we have an artisanal flour mill in our own Ontario backyard? K2 Milling prepares classic whole wheat and cake-and-pastry flours, interesting high-protein varieties such as hemp and chickpea, plus fruit and vegetable flours, including blueberry, grape and kale.
3. Sheldon Creek Dairy
Sheldon Creek Dairy’s cows are Holsteins, a breed known for producing A2 milk (touted for its purported health benefits). The farm’s deliciously fresh-tasting whole dairy comes with the cream on the top. Also, try their other delicacies, like kefir, labneh and ghee.
5. Spirit Tree Estate Cidery
Arrive at Spirit Tree to find a cidery, bistro, bakery and general farm store — all surrounded by apple orchards. Their food-friendly draught cider paired beautifully with the dishes in this episode.
Discover further Caledon and Creemore gems — from beers to wines — worth exploring.
