If you haven’t stopped by yet, Palas Farm Shoppe is now open and well worth a visit. Gayle Palas welcomes you to drop in Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 4pm at 11025 Finch Place, just off Gait Rd in Saltair.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy spot filled with fresh baked treats like sourdough loaves, scones and cookies, along with homemade jams, soaps and other hand crafted goods. There’s also a small free library to browse, plus seasonal produce fresh from the farm.

It’s a lovely place to slow down, support local and take home something made with care. If you’re in the area, swing by and say hello to Gayle.
