As we were in the area, a friend made us stop there to get some meat…read more We ended up buying some homemade sausages. The place is small but has it's charm. The good: Lots of fresh meat choices. Have prepackaged vacuum-sealed cuts. You can get other type of food. Has a variety of hot sauces. Has also a variety of beers. Accepts Apple Pay. The bad: We bought two packs of the same sausages, colours were different and they were super salty (very disappointing). Entrance small and super tight. Store is quite full and hard to move around. We waited at the cash a long time before someone came over (and it is not like they are missing staff). In the end, pretty place, but quality does not match the charm of the looks. But locals love it!

Aaron was just incredible the night I got my bear. Had the shop open late to receive it, which is…read moreso critical when it's hot outside. Bear was hung and skinned. He knew I was heading back to Kentucky in the morning and made sure that my bear was quartered and ready for my coolers by morning. He had even cleaned up the hide and applied salt for the trip home. Price was very fair the work was done skillfully. Cant recommend him enough. Oh and they have ice for sale which is clutch if you plan on transporting your meat like I did!

Adorable stop to find products made in the Sherbrooke region!…read more I had a home-made rhubarb lemonade and it was extremely refreshing! This market has jams, olive oils, soaps, fresh produce, pastries, bread, pre-made/home-made meals and much more. It's worth a stop if you're in the area and want to take a break on the porch to enjoy the lovely views of the countryside: lots of trees, hills and agricultural fields!

We heard about this store and farm from Joanne, the awesome Tourist Center Guide on our way into…read moreKnowlton. Elderberries are purported to be one of the highest antioxidant foods and as a life and wellness coach, I recommend it when someone needs an immune system boost to stave off the common cold, shorten the flu, and reduce sinusitis. That said, there are also other potential benefits of the juice of the fruit that have yet to be fully confirmed, yet are sufficiently awesome enough to give it a try. The store and seating area is gorgeous. With the breeze and sunshine, it made for a perfect day to look over the countryside and the crops below. Phil and Andrea, the owners, are passionate about what they do and it shows. Andrea makes every product they sell: pure elderberry juice, elderberry syrup (that is infused with honey, ginger and cinnamon); elderflower lemonade sweetened with the elderflower honey; red pepper jelly, rhubarb lime ginger compote, elderberry preserves, slightly spicy kale chips (no elderberry, but an awesome snack). They also extract the elderflower honey and her that as well for purchase. The juice itself is aptly described as part blueberry, part blackberry. It's slightly tart, but as you would use only 2 teaspoons a day for vitality purposes, it makes a great addition to boost the antioxidants of a smoothie, can be mixed in a tea, a lemonade, or even a club soda. The syrup would make a wonderful addition to a spritzer or as a delectable sauce for pancakes, waffles, or ic cream. You can taste the spiciness of the ginger and the cinnamon (both excellent for health-the former is an anti-inflammatory and the latter lowers blood pressure and stabilizes blood sugar). The lemonade is perfectly sweetened-just a hint, which allows the lemon favor to shine through. They serve it in tall tumblers sprinkled with fresh elderflowers and if you wish, a sprig of fresh mint (I recommend this). A really wonderful place to visit and to taste and buy the numerous homemade products made from their own gardens and crops.

The man helped with the creation of the Owl's Head ski resort many decades ago. And the lady prepares their own smoked meat, and uses it to serve one of the most simple and delicious smoked meat sandwiches anywhere - as good or better than any I've had in Montreal. I wish I knew their names. It's a perfect spot to stop after skiing at Owl's Head or Jay Peak. They also have hot soups and other foods. Usually open until 6-7pm. If you get there before 5pm, be sure to grab some desert down the street at Owl's Bread - which is a supremely delicious bakery/restaurant - but with very limited hours. The deli has classic fresh donuts too.

Worth a stop for sure!
