The jingle bells have started ringing and holiday shoppers are making their lists. Consider choosing a "culinary experience" as an unique gift for a friend, family member or client.


Happy Holidays

Owner, From the Farm Enterprises Inc.

I have a new appreciation of what it takes to host a cooking show. It was a fun, but busy day prepping, staging, shooting (re-shooting), and of course sampling! Thanks to the folks at PaperChef and their agency, Compass360, for choosing From the Farm Cooking School for their Holiday Campaign. Yes, this culinary paper is the best I've ever used. You will be amazed at it's versatility and making clean-up a breeze in your kitchen! I even cook my bacon on it now. You can pick up  their products at Loblaws & Costco, and a number of food shops across Canada.

If you are looking for gifts that are unique, artisan and handcrafted in Prince Edward County, you'll want to visit a new online shop, The County Gift Co.
The County Gift Co. is a one-stop-shop for County-made gifts and gift baskets.  The gift baskets themselves are made in Prince Edward County and can be artfully reused once the gift is gone.

Lots to discover and learn while visiting our beautiful Prince Edward County.
