The name Goldsmith’s Orchard Market is well-known in the Georgian Bay area. It began in the 1960s as a popular roadside fruit stand.
Now Goldsmith’s Orchard Market is dedicated to offering the finest quality fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods and cut flowers that we can grow on our family farm or source as locally as possible. Many of the sources are family friends so the link between the producer and you will remain short.

Grey and Gold Cider is a farm-based cidery. Born of a passion project, the cidery now boasts multiple award-winning ciders.
Their approach is centred around quality farm-grown ingredients, eliminating additives and allowing for long fermentation. The result is delicious and refreshing—well worth the drive (or bike ride!)

The Cedar Grove Labyrinth offers a pause in the work day, as well as simply a time to find peace and relaxation.
A labyrinth is a pattern with a single winding path that leads from the entrance to the centre. Focused walking meditations are effective at reducing anxiety and creating the ‘relaxation response’.
