This beautiful stone building, built circa 1860 has been renovated into a store featuring five hundred frozen food items and country décor for every room of your home or cottage. The building is situated along the Moira River at the northern section of Tweed, Ontario.

The building operated as a cheese factory until the early 1900's, at which time it closed down and remained vacant until 1960 when the south portion was made into living quarters. The living quarters were utilized by various families and individuals until 1998, at which time the building became vacant until major renovations commenced in February 2004 to create the store that you see today.

The building is a historic site with exterior stonework that has never been touched and interior beams that were installed when the building was first built in the late 1800's. The woodwork covering the walls, serving as wainscoting, was removed from the ceiling and walls in the original structure; planed, sanded, stained and reinstated on the walls. The old wheel extending from the beams was at one time attached to the south end of the building utilized to pull cans up to the factory by rope and pulley method.

The store has 14 freezers on-site full of frozen foods from fingerfoods to total meal preparation. The majority of the products are grown and marketed in Ontario and come to the store in bulk form, at which time they are reduced, bagged, weighed and priced for sale to the public. Upon request, the frozen product can be bagged to any size to meet individual requirements. The dry food consists of jams, relishes, oils, tapenades (sugar-free toppings), marinades, salsa, dry dips and drink mixes. The jam and relishes come to the store from a local business and also the Mennonites in western Ontario. The remainder of the dry goods are from various locations throughout Ontario.

The décor is a mixture of old- fashioned country and upcountry creations by local furniture builders. Gift ideas range from candles, dishware, painted signs, pillows, table runners, hanging floral baskets and wreaths to gift baskets prepared on site.
