Pembroke has a new shop in town! Little Things Canning Company just opened their doors. Winner of the "Win this Space" contest, entrepreneur Stacy Taylor has moved her home canning business to a new commercial location at 96 Pembroke Street West. 

This newly renovated space is a combination of modern and rustic decor with high ceilings, beautiful wood shelving and accents, and exposed brick. Little Things Canning Company has a variety of pickled canned goods including pickles, beans, beets, asparagus, onions, and our favourite dilled carrots. Daily specials are on the take-home menu for lunch and early dinner, made fresh with wholesome ingredients, good intentions, and a whole lotta love. 

The shop also takes pride in offering a selection of local goods and products in store such as Bee Savvy Honey, The Mix Company, SNARK Coffee, Alexanderbros Woodworking's cutting boards and kitchen utensils, and Laurentian Brew Kombucha. 

Little Things Canning Company is celebrating their Grand Opening this weekend starting at 1pm on Saturday. Be sure to check out the shop and bring your appetite!

Our kombucha is creeping up the Valley and has found another home in Arnprior at Bonnie Jane's Coffee House.

Connected to The Arnprior Book Shop/Gallery Gift Shop and beside the Rising Lotus Yoga studio, Bonnie Jane's has many options to fill your belly before searching for a great read or after a relaxing yoga class.

For their regular and specialty coffees, the café uses It's All in the Beans fresh roasted coffee, locally roasted by the owners themselves. A large assortment of teas and other tasty beverages are available including Mighty Leaf Tea, made in Montreal and now three flavours of Laurentian Brew Kombucha. On the daily menu are fresh soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, quiche, cookies, scones, brownies, muffins and various other treats including gluten free and vegan options. 

Plenty of seating is available inside the coffee house, above the book store as well as outside the Gallery Gift Shop with a fenced in terrace. Call an old friend and meet up at Bonnie Jane's Coffee House to catch up in this welcoming space!

We've teamed up with Hugli's Blueberry Ranch to bring you a Hugli's Blueberry Kombucha!

Using the best, fresh, hand-picked, high bush blueberries to infuse our kombucha, this batch is sweet and refreshing, making it the perfect Summer drink. 

On tap now at The Olive Tree in Deep River. 

Complete with great live entertainment, dancing, vendors, food, drinks, fun activities, triathlon, races, car show, and a big fireworks display, Summerfest 2017 was a success. A huge thank you to the committee, all volunteers, and sponsors who make the biggest event in Deep River a weekend of fun for all ages. We enjoyed a crazy day of unpredictable weather as we gave out samples of kombucha and 12oz cups alongside some great vendor friends. Local bands floored us with their talent and we certainly enjoyed the evenings of music and mingling. Until next year, Summerfest!

(I regret to not have brought my camera to capture more amazing moments from the weekend, but I was too busy having fun!)

You can find four varieties of Laurentian Brew Kombucha amongst a large list of beverages and homemade goods at Janna's Gallery Café.

Owner Janna Fortin purchased the café in 2012 and hasn't looked back. The café is a second home to many loyal customers who enjoy the friendly atmosphere and fresh food made daily. 

Artwork brightens up the walls with several local artists' pieces available for purchase. With Janna's husband being an artist himself, the two wanted to have a place where local art could be displayed while making it affordable and beneficial for both parties. 

The café is located in the heart of Pembroke and is open Monday to Saturday. Meal options include a breakfast special, egg muffin, wrap, sandwich, soup, salad, and sweet treats. For the coffee lover, Janna's Gallery Café uses locally roasted organic fair-trade coffee beans and offers just about any regular or specialty hot or cold drinks. Prices are all very reasonable, making it an win for the belly and the wallet.
