  • One of our favourite things about exploring Perth County is that no matter how many times we visit, there's always a new spot waiting to be discovered.
🚙
This time, we finally stopped at Country Roots Market (@countryrootsfreshmarket ) near St. Marys, and this little country market packs a lot into a small space. Fresh produce, pantry staples, dairy, frozen meats, a deli counter serving made-to-order sandwiches, and shelves filled with tempting baked treats.
💚
The real stars for us? The homemade cheesecake and dessert bars made in-house "by Mom." Choosing just one flavour is nearly impossible....so We didn't.
.
We also stocked up on some delicious bread from Spicer's Bakery and couldn't help but browse the Christmas displays already popping up throughout the store.
🍞
It's places like this that make day trips so much fun. You never know what little unexpected gem you'll stumble across next.

  • A return trip to @stop107themarketstand was definitely in order.
🚙
 We wanted to see all the changes they've made, stock up on their incredible butter tarts, and hopefully get our hands on a few of their famous cinnamon buns.
This time, we lucked out! Along with the cinnamon buns, we picked up brownie trios and a couple of cookies to take home. 🥮🍪
I'd call that a very successful visit. And as always, it was great catching up with Kelly!

  • Yesterday we discovered this cute little bakeshop in Pelham, ON.
@julie.g.bakery in Fenwick is a small family run business, selling gorgeous baked goods out of their roadside shed at the end of their driveway. 
🍞
Julie makes a huge selection of items - several flavour options for fresh baked breads, croissants, baguettes, danishes, pies, cakes, and so much more. There is so much variety it is surprising how much fits in this little shed.
🥐
The bake shop has been open for only one year (anniversary open house is next weekend), and she has a good following of loyal customers. 
🥖
We picked up a pack of mini almond croissants, and a delicious looking Dill Pickle Focaccia - which was a new item.
. 
The Bakery is self-serve, based on availability or preorders. Don't forget to check out the fridge/freezer for more options (cakes, croissants, and other teats)
They accept cash, or e-transfer. 
.
📍 700 Tice Rd, Pelham, ON L0S 1C0

  • We stopped by this small family farm in Ancaster and found a really sweet little fall photo spot right beside their stand.
.
 @krukowskifarm (1242 Fiddlers Green Rd) is a family farm with a farm stand where they sell the farm‑fresh duck and chicken eggs, potatoes, onions, sunflower heads, black garlic, pumpkins, and whatever else they’ve harvested that week.
🧄
They also have a large lavender field you can walk through, and they sell their own lavender products. 
A simple, friendly local stop.

  • A repeat visit to the Town of Clinton in Central Huron, Ontario. 
.
We started at Ball's Bridge, known as The Bridge That Love Built. This historic bridge is a peaceful spot of Central Huron and more than just a photo stop. Grab a seat in one of the bright red chairs, peek through the binoculars (provided) to observe the birds and fish below, and take in the stunning views of the Maitland River. There's even a Wind Phone, offering visitors a unique space to reflect and connect with loved ones who have passed on, plus a guest book where travellers can leave their mark (we did).
.
From there, we headed to Sloman Park to check out the CRN School on Wheels and snap a photo with another of Central Huron's iconic Big Red Chairs.
.
Of course, no visit to Clinton is complete without a stop at Bartliff's Bakery & Restaurant, for some fresh donuts & pastries. This local favourite is worth every calorie.
.
Historic bridges, riverside views, giant red chairs, and baked goods? Clinton might just be one of Ontario's most underrated little day trip stops.

  • While we were exploring Huron County, we visited the Wawanosh Nature Center for a short hike and a chance to take in the autumn colours. 
The trails were a very quiet  peaceful walk along the Maitland River through the woods, and the leaves were at near peak.
Perfect way to spend a crisp autumn afternoon.
