We source our beans mostly from the MABCO (aka Juan Gonzalez) in Toronto. Juan travels the world looking for excellent beans and, where necessary, training farmers and cooperatives in their fermentation.

Once the beans are safely in our commercial kitchen, we clean and roast them. Then, the beans must first be cracked to separate the shell from the nibs and then the shells must be blown away through a winnowing system. The cast off shells are good for mulch.

We grind our beans for 3-5 days to get the smoothest possible chocolate, with not a hint of grit. This is a highly aromatic process. After grinding, we temper the chocolate to create a crystal formation that makes the chocolate snap, have uniform structure, and have a long shelf life.

Finally, after all the hard work, we pour the chocolate into molds and let it set. The chocolate that slides out of the mold is ready for packaging and consumption.

King’s Lock Craft Distillery spirits are all handcrafted in small batches using local and organic ingredients.

We value our commitment to sustainable practices and local sourcing so we can produce our spirits with minimal environmental impact. We are 100% Canadian-made and use certified Organic grains from our local farmers to distill our spirits.

Our family-owned and operated distillery was the first certified Organic distillery in Ontario – and we’re also certified kosher. We can guarantee the quality and ingredients of our spirits because we distill our spirits from scratch, in-house – not many distilleries make their own spirit bases, like vodka, but we do – and we do it well.

Handcrafting and double distilling in small batches in our copper pot still make our spirits unique, bold, and of the highest quality. Our distillers use techniques which enhance the unique balance and essence of our fine flavours. We know the extra time and effort makes all the difference, and we think you’ll agree.

Our spirits have been recognized for their excellence internationally. We received three medals at the 2018 Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition and another two at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirit Competition.

Our brewery was founded on the philosophy that life and beer require balance to be at their best. And finding that balance is as personal as finding a beer you love. That’s why we’re constantly brewing new releases made with carefully sourced high quality ingredients to pour pints that are as unique as the people who drink our beer.

At CocoaBistro, we believe that chocolate should not be merely consumed, but experienced. It’s that small indulgence In a truffle or ganache-filled confection that transports us, that evokes those feelings that we savour, and rewards us with that gift of chocolate that we deserve in our hectic lives.

We believe that chocolate deserves respect and should be shaped and flavoured in as pure a form as possible. Our ingredients include Callebaut and Cacao Barry couverture chocolate, fresh locally-sourced cream and butter, and natural flavours that result from the infusion of fresh ingredients in cream. That’s all. No high fructose corn syrup. No artificial flavours.

We are proud to carry luxurious chocolate products that conform to plant-based, lactose-free, and gluten-free diets.  We are completely peanut-free too!

We started to develop Kricklewood Sunflower Oil for the Eastern Ontario local market in 2010. We planted our first 15 acres of sunflowers in 2012 and started to bottle our oil in early 2013.

We grow and press the sunflower seeds ourselves on the farm in Frankville. It is a labour of love to see the seeds germinate and eventually bloom. It is an awesome site to see 15 acres of sunflowers in full bloom in July and August. We plant enough seeds to share with the birds.

We plant an organic non-GMO high oleic sunflower seed. We chose this variety of seed for the heart healthy benefits of the final oil.

We grow our seeds without herbicides or pesticides and we follow organic growing practices.  We use mechanical weeding methods including ‘tine weeding’ and ‘row crop cultivating’ to encourage growth of the Sunflowers.  We harvest the sunflower fields in late fall after the first frost when the seeds are naturally dried on the stalk. The harvested seeds are stored on the farm and pressed as needed to ensure freshly pressed sunflower oil for you to enjoy.

We use a mechanical screw press to slowly squeeze the seeds for the oil. We monitor the pressing temperature to ensure a premium cold pressed sunflower oil. The slow pressing of the seeds results in a fresh nutty tasting sunflower oil with all of the sunflower seeds natural vitamins and minerals.
