That's all folks! The Deep River Farmer's Market wrapped up it's last market of the season with the extended version for the Taste of the Valley. Smiles were as plentiful as baskets and bags of goods, and local farmers and artisans enjoyed a sunny Saturday in September serving customers from all over the Ottawa Valley. 

The market was a bustlin' by 10 a.m. featuring the finest in local produce, homemade goods, handcrafted pieces, art, and tasty treats. We had kombucha on tap and free samples for both the uninitiated and loyal customers. 

We wish to thank everyone who came around to our booth this year and a HUGE thank you to the Deep River Farmer's Market volunteers who dedicated so much of their time to make the season a success. 

New flavour alert! We're launching our latest kombucha LEMONLESS LEMON!

Subtle in its herbal taste, the name says it all. Made with organic lemongrass, lemon verbena, and lemon balm, this new flavour enhances the natural citrus-like taste of raw kombucha without any actual citrus. 

Available on tap at LEAP Health Hub in Pembroke and The Olive Tree in Deep River while quantities last.

Pembroke has a new health facility! LEAP Health Hub celebrated their Grand Opening on Saturday, September 9th. 

Located in the heart of Pembroke, LEAP Health Hub is a beautifully renovated health centre combining the leading edge in fitness and wellness. 

In it's original location, LEAP, formerly L.E.A.P. High Performance, offered personal training and spinning classes. The new LEAP Health Hub is all that and more. Fitness classes include spinning, tai chi, chi qong, yoga and individual or small group membership programs. LEAP focuses on helping clients achieve optimal health through individualized training and neurological rehabilitation. Additional services include pain management and injury rehabilitation, body composition, injury prevention, performance enhancement and motivation. The centre will also be home to a Holistic Nutritionist and Massage Therapist. 

The Grand Opening was a huge success and many visitors came by to view the facility and congratulate owner, Patricia Careau. Delicious healthy food was provided by The Alternate Root and snacks from local businesses were also offered to guests. 

Laurentian Brew is excited to announce that we've teamed up to have our second refill location with kombucha on tap at the Hub. One litre refillable bottles or to-go cups will be available for purchase and will be open to the public. LEAP will be Pembroke's first kombucha on tap location soon to have a total of six flavour options including seasonal flavours unique to the refill station.
