If I'm going to be anywhere near the Eastern Townships, I detour to La Rumeur. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They know everything about the products they sell, and they go above and beyond to be helpful. It's also really cute! The whole space has a country store look and feel. You get the sense that you are in a family store (even if it probably isn't) where everyone takes pride in what they sell. If you are near either one of their two locations, don't miss the opportunity to grab a cookie!

They have a lot of cheese from Quebec, France and the Netherlands. In fact they have a lot from all over Europe as well. You can ask for a sample before you buy the cheese. With the cost of some of these cheeses, that only makes sense. We picked up some Quebec cheese this trip but on past trips we bought Dutch cheese. The bakery side has good food as well. We have tried their breads and croissants and would definitely buy them again. There is a case full of pies, tartes,and cakes for sale and we are tempted to bring one home. They always have someone working who is fluent in English if your French is not good.

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.

We found excellent goat cheese options, drinks and artisan soaps for a gift. The products here are usually all good quality brands. Being a natural market, a lot of the offerings are free of pesticides, organic or all natural, therefore the prices are a bit high, definitely not a Shaw's nor Stop n Shop price point, but if you want some things that you can't find in a regular grocery store, check it out.... There's plenty of parking and the staff is very nice and friendly.

Wine and fruit I can get anywhere? Nutty! Which is interesting, as regulars are ski lift operators/gardeners. Though chatty; it's too small, too sold out, too pricy and no variety in simple items: canapés, hard cider, napkins, bacon, eggs etc. Rebel review: overpriced 2

It might have just been how it was spread that one particular time. The pizza itself tasted good though. The drinks were good, and no complaints on the service. I'd try again and see if the next time is better.

I grabbed some chorizo which I'm super excited about because I haven't been able to find any since moving here from Los Angeles. I haven't tried it yet, so I'll update my review after I do. I was super excited about the FRIED CHICKEN cause it looked delicious, but as soon as I took my first bite I regretted buying so much of it. Although the breading on it had an excellent taste, most of it crumbled off the chicken and exposed gross looking pale chicken. The skin of the chicken was definitely not fried properly and appeared to be partly raw. Once I bit into it, the chicken felt chewy and was partly pink inside. I got 5 wings and wished I had only got one to try cause I couldn't eat any of it. My husband thinks the chicken was read and fried while still frozen which kept it from frying properly. How can you skip steps in cooking and expect your customers to be happy and come back?? The shop itself is nice and has a big assortment of meats, but my review is based on what I purchased (fried chicken) which was pretty disgusting.
