Welcome back to the second annual Winter’s Tide Makers Market. We are so pleased to be holding this market again after the success last season during the tricky business of Covid. With so much wonderful feedback about being able to shop in a relaxed atmosphere without crowds in a picturesque location, we decided to make Winter’s Tide an annual thing, not a Covid thing!

Appointments are available from December 1 to December 11, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 3:00-7:00 and Saturdays from 10:00-2:00.

We will not be able to accommodate drop-ins, so please don’t forget to book your time!

Please message Stonefields Farm via FaceBook or Instagram to set up your private shopping time. You may also call 250-655-0897. An appointment confirmation will be sent to you.

This season we wish to support The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada, so we will be asking for a $5 entrance fee (per person) on arrival. In return, we will provide you with a steaming mug of hot apple cider to enjoy by the outdoor fire, a vegan treat, and a chance at winning the gift basket. Plus, you'll be providing much-needed support during these difficult times for an organization doing wonderful work for donkeys and mules in Canada.

Appointments are booked in twenty minute segments, and we encourage you to arrive ten minutes ahead of your booking so as to relax and enjoy your hot apple cider.

Follow us on FaceBook or Instagram to receive updates and previews of all the fabulous items we’ll have available!

The Winter’s Tide Cottage Market will offer goods from all of the vendors listed here, but will not have the individual vendors on site (to keep the number of interactions to a minimum).

Most of our participating vendors offer direct sales as well — please visit their individual pages for more info and links.

All items featured are natural, vegan, gluten-free, earth-friendly, unique, and produced locally by skilled makers!

Visit our Vendors page for a sneak peak!
