THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 2010. PAGE 11.
Thanks to the entrepreneurial
spirit of a Cranbrook couple, local
people and travellers along County
Rd. 86 near Molesworth have a new
place to buy local food.
Karen Smith opened Old 86
Farmers’Market earlier this summer
selling a variety of food from local
sources – from cinnamon buns from
Cinnamon Jim’s in Brussels to jams
from Glen Farms at Ethel.
The huge store opened on the May
24 holiday weekend and Smith says
she’s been pleased with the business
so far, both from local people and
travellers along the road on their
way to Lake Huron.
The store came about after her
husband Dave bought an empty
building that has once housed a
lumber business. He planned on
using it for storage but when he
realized how much traffic was going
by the door, he felt it should be used
for a retail location.
“He’s got quite an entrepreneurial
spirit,” Karen says of her husband.
Large as the building was, they
actually built an addition on the
front for a visitor-friendly entrance
and built a parking lot at the front for
easy access. The front portion of the
building houses the farmers’ market
with fresh vegetables grown by local
growers, baked goods from
Harriston Bakery, meats from local
processors and even locally-made
goat cheese.
Saturday mornings there’s an
outdoor farmers’ market out front to
attract travellers to come in. There’s
also a chipwagon next door offering
fresh cut chips, apple fritters and
hamburgers made with meat from a
local processor.
Inside there’s a surprise for
visitors because the original
building is filled with a gigantic
clearance store.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” she says of
the learning process. “We’ve met a
lot of nice people.”
