We have fresh Ontario North American Chestnut in, sweeter and smaller than European and Asian varieties and one of the most important foods to eastern North America where for a Millenia it was the most prominent tree and one of the most abundant food source for people and animals alike till a blight lately wiped them out.

We also have some pawpaw left but it's quite ripe, we will have more fresh and greener pawpaw next week. If you are planning on visiting the shop this weekend consider early next week if you want the best pawpaw experience. The very ripe pawpaw is still delicious, just black and bruised fruit isn't ideal for most.

Maple syrup has had a moment in the news lately, so it's both an honor and great timing to see folks appreciate our small batch Ontario organic maple syrup. Pick up the latest copy (Autumn 2026) of magazine this weekend at your local LCBO

And while you are at it ask an LCBO staff member to recommend some locally distilled Gin made with Canadian botanicals like Canadian juniper, labrador tea, chaga, balsam, cedar spruce tips, alder catkins, rosehips and more.
