Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.

Sometimes it depends on who makes the sandwich for you but usually the workers load the sandwich pretty well with your choice of toppings. The store itself is pretty nice and has a lot of fresh ingredients. The prices are a little high but I would say it's because it's a higher end grocery store. Definitely a place you would come to get a couple of things, not your typical weekly groceries.

It was the perfect amount of food and it was incredible. I would also recommend the Speak Mimosa I would recommend making a reservation after 7pm, just to be safe. The waitress was friendly, checked in, but didn't linger. I've been to the Melting Pot before - and it does NOT compare. It was priced as expected - it's not a fast food restaurant and it's worth every dollar. (Two soups, the classic fondue, two drinks and tips was just shy of $100). I've attached a poorly taken photo - we were too excited to eat it to get a picture in time.

We stopped in…read moreon a Saturday afternoon around 4pm and there were a bunch of seats available and people buying things from the store. For 3 people as snack we shared the cheese platter for 2 ($23.95) and added charcuterie ($7.95). It came with 4 cheese selections. The bleu brie was the best! It also came with 3 types of crackers and bread, along with some dried fruit. The charcuterie came with a few slices of salami, a small piece of pate and 2 rolls of pickled green beans. It wasn't the best charcuterie choice but the cheese was excellent. Their slightly curried chutney was also nice. The atmosphere was cute, they had a lot of selection in their cheese fridge to purchase and other food items in the store. The service was a bit sassy but not too bad, we never felt rushed. While we were sitting at the bar we watched them assemble many huge cheese party boards with customers coming in to pick them up and they all looked so beautiful!

Strange I know but the layout and fridges filled with delicious things really hit me. The shop is tiny and tries to showcase local organic products of all kinds. Soap, meat, cheese, baked goods, you name it. If it's ethically made then they want to help you sell it. That's a mandate I can get behind because far too many companies put profit ahead of quality these days. I picked up a dozen duck eggs, a giant mason jar of maple syrup, elk jerky and bacon and was amazed at how good everything was. Fresh, locally sourced food makes for one hell of a breakfast which kind of makes me wish I lived a little closer to this place.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled into the driveway and realized that I had been there years ago. Years later, my observations still hold. This is a great place to get very fresh Canadian made buffalo mozzarella and burrata for an amazing price. It's the same Bella Casata that I find at my Longos, but much cheaper and with longer expiration dates. For example the Canadian burrata runs $16-18 at Longos and was $10 here! Brie was on special $10 a kg, so my kid got a huge wedge for $4. Sone of that went into the freezer. We also got a gorgeous braid of bocconcini. This would be gorgeous on a large cheese plate. We just ripped it into pieces and made it part of a rustic and yummy caprese. There was also a nice special on prosciutto and we did not buy enough as most of it disappeared minutes after arriving home.
