Hand-crafted, small batch delights including truffle fries, pickerel po’ boy, lobster rolls, and your choice of an ahi tuna or black bean tostada bowl.

Cressy Mustard Co. began almost 15 years to help with a country church fundraiser. After growing up in Grandma’s kitchen, Sarah Harrison came across an old family mustard recipe and thought why not whip up a few jars to sell and raise money for the Cressy Church. The mustard was such a hit she bottled a few dozen jars at a time to sell at a local coffee shop. After selling out each time she started playing with many different flavors. Fast forward to today, Cressy Mustard boasts over 8 different kinds of mustard that can be found across Prince Edward County and beyond. Cressy Mustard Co. returns serving hand-crafted, small batch delights including truffle fries, pickerel po’ boy, lobster rolls, and your choice of an ahi tuna or black bean tostada bowl.

Texan-inspired smoked meats, including sliced brisket, pork side ribs and more tasty options.

Smoking J’s BBQ’s interest in barbecue started with family backyard cookouts in the summer. The smell of meat cooking over fire brings nostalgic feelings. Originally from Toronto, James Morgan had dreams of having a big backyard with enough space to have his own barbecue setup with a few smokers. After visiting Prince Edward County and seeing its vibrant food scene he decided The County was the place for him to plant his feet.

THE HUT SMOOTHIE & JUICE BAR

Delicious and nutritious smoothies, juices and light bites.

The Hut Smoothie & Juice Bar makes their debut with delicious and nutritious smoothies, juices and light bites. Twin sisters Sydney and Ashley Bly founded The Hut Smoothie & Juice Bar through the desire to bring consistent and simplistic quality goods to the Muskoka area, where the market was otherwise under-saturated. The clientele, with a notable family demographic in cottage country, drove The Hut to pursue their community at the heart of their purpose, and the continuation of that push was seen with the opening of their first Toronto location in 2024.

Stay tuned for the hours of operation.
