Around the Sound will be open this Wednesday and next from 10 until 5.
Next week (the 16th-19th) we'll be open Wednesday to Saturday and we'll be open 9 to 5 on the Saturday.
In Christmas week we'll be open 9 until 6, Tuesday the 22nd, Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th.
As expected, treats have begun to arrive. Rum cakes and carrot puddings with rum sauce are going fast! Laura has brought mincemeat in 500 and 750 ml. jars, and will take orders for an un-brandied version if you're so inclined. She has also brought her popular lemon ginger marmalade, cherry jam and cherry chutney made from local cherries, apple cider jelly and a new pear jam with flecks of vanilla bean. One more treat - Black Forest Sauce, made from local cherries, brandy and chocolate!
And by Friday we'll have organic eggnog from Harmony Organic Dairy.
If you want to make your own jam, jelly or sauces, there are local cherries and red currants in the freezer - just ask.
Look for Trudy's gingerbread cookies and of course any number of cranberry condiments from Windy Hill, Trudy's Country Kitchen and Cottage Country North. Trudy will bake to order for the holidays, and Marjenny's will supply gluten-free treats.
Apple cider comes in frozen litres, litre bottles of organic cider from Filsingers in Ayton, or sparkling from Finch Haven Orchards in Clarksburg.
For those who asked (and anyone else) the Goji berries and Texas spicy venison sausage are here.
Ontario peanuts grow where tobacco was once planted, and we have little bags of Kernel's Ontario peanuts in salted, unsalted and garlic, peanut brittle and crunchy peanut butter. Look for festive cones of white chocolate Ontario popcorn too.
Gift baskets can be made to order in any size, and beautiful gift certificates (thanks again Christy!) in any denomination.
Around the Sound is still at 972 1st Avenue West, one block north of the library. Watch for our move/expansion in late January.
