Whether the sun is shining or it’s a raining outside, visiting general stores is the perfect way to spend a fall day.
From old-fashioned general stores offering home-made treats to award-winning small businesses of all types, Grey County has lots of charming downtown shops where you can while away the hours finding just the right thing. Historically a centre for fine wood production, Grey County is still a great place to find one-of-a-kind furniture.
Perhaps you've noticed a bright green and white sign at some of your favourite restaurants, stores or farmers' market stalls. Maybe you've wondered what it is all about. Food, yes... but what else? Made in Grey is more than just food, it’s a community!
Trip Ideas
You may have seen Made in Grey signs posted in local restaurants, stores and farmers' markets, identifying local food that is sold and served there. The brick-and-mortar members are easy to find.
In the time of COVID-19, our farmers' markets have adapted to social distancing safety requirements.
There’s nothing more magical during the holidays than quaint small towns decked out in twinkling lights and fresh snow. Head to one or all of Grey County’s downtowns for seasonal shopping, tasty treats or to just soak up the sights and sounds of the season. Check this list twice to get your holiday’s started.
