We wanted to dig a little deeper into what makes some of these unique establishments tick, and today we are highlighting Steelhead Food Co. located on the North end of the city at 5 Barrie Blvd.  Steelhead Food Co. created an innovative business where they operate a public Fish & Seafood Market, in addition to the wholesale aspect of their business. We caught up with Meg McTaggart, one of the co-owners, to find the story behind Steelhead.

Autumn is in the air, and with it the Hexes & Jinxes Mystical Market!

Hosted by Purely Wicked, this eclectic market came onto the scene in 2020 during a time when putting on events was incredibly difficult. Despite the circumstances, the market was a huge success, featuring an incredible array of artisan vendors with top of the line products, from artwork to candles to home décor.

This spooky market will be returning this year with even more vendors selling their very best wares. For those looking to extend their fun in St. Thomas, we've put together some itinerary ideas for you based on your horoscope below! 

Earlier this summer, we showed some love to our farmers’ markets. This week we wanted to take the time to introduce to you local farm stands and shops!

St. Thomas is surrounded by countless fields, providing local farmers with plenty of space to grow produce, curate cheese, meats and so much more. These farmers and families dedicate endless hours to providing us with local, organic and delicious food for our community. In order to share it all with the community, many of them have access points right where they grow their food!

Why is it important to support these farm stands and stores? By buying local, the money you spend goes back directly to your community! You also support these local businesses and allow them to continue to do what they love. Let’s take a look into the lovely businesses here in St. Thomas and surrounding areas!

Here in St. Thomas we are lucky to be surrounded by an agriculturally dense and diverse area with amazing local producers. Supporting these businesses has never been easier! With two large markets in the area: Wildflower Farmers’ Market and Horton Farmers’ Market, you have two opportunities to get out and love local each and every week.

Today we are taking a deeper look at the Horton Farmers' Market! Read up on our post about Wildflowers Farmer's Market here.
