We’re real foodies in Stratford! Not a surprise considering that Perth County has been feeding Ontario for well over 100 years. We have farm markets, artisanal cheese makers, fresh locally tapped maple syrup, organic meats, greens and bakeries.
Stratford has been home to the slow food movement well before it became fashionable. From haute cuisine to country comfort food, fresh and inventive seasonal flavours await. Many of our local chefs have become television stars, including Fink and The Stratford Chefs School — this year celebrating 25 years of training chefs of international renown. We have even created a Stratford and Area Menu guide that features Marion Kane’s impressions of Stratford’s culinary experience. Tempt yourself with the rich variety of dining options found in the guide below. Come take your taste buds on an experience meeting our local food artisans on the Stratford Spring Epicurean Trek. Awaken your senses every Saturday at either the Stratford Farmer’s Market from 7:00 til 12:00 or St, Mary’s Market from 9:00 til 11:00. Stop to enjoy a light lunch made with local produce in one of Stratford’s many restaurants. Then it's time to trek – choose one of three specially designed Spring Epicurean Treks – Savour the Countryside, Rural Market Sampler or Traditional Artisan Trek. Take the treks every Saturday in May and June between 12:00 and 4:00. You will meet passionate characters dedicated to producing fresh and local foods, right on their farms and businesses. Sample elk sausage and organic pork products; try baked goods fresh from the oven and sensationally sweet spring cheeses. Taste Aunt Hilda’s mustards, local chutneys, pickles and preserves and don’t forget to try hand-rolled chilli pepper truffles! Download the treks below and look for the “Buy Local Buy Fresh” signs that identify the locations. Graze away the afternoon and don’t forget to pack an insulated shopping bag - you will definitely want to take some home to share with friends, or savour all by yourself!
