Opening a week early as fairgrounds will be available.

We're Back!!! We have been busy planning for this year's Orono Farmers Market and we are excited to announce that our first market will be on Friday June 14th! We will still be your home for local and fresh produce and baked goods. But we will also have vendors with locally made handcrafted goods. But wait there's more! New to the Orono Farmers Market this year will be: kids' days, food truck Fridays and visits from your favourite animals. We can't wait to see you!

It’s closing day 😢and of course I have to give a shout out to this dynamic duo.
Vicki (left) and Suzanne (right). These ladies are old school who believe in giving 110%. Vicki was the first employee hired and started out on counter but took over many/most of the baking duties. She has been responsible for countless pans of brownies, lemon bars and more. Vicki’s reliability made her my rock, never leaving me stranded if someone didn’t show for a shift or staying later to get the work done; even recruiting her husband to help with dishes on more than one occasion (actually Gary was the most meticulous dishwasher).
Suzanne came on board nearly 2 years ago to be the manager. She became my ‘shield’ dealing with staff and customers with her corporate background and training. She took over bread making duties to lighten my workload. Like Vicki, Suzanne would set aside her personal plans instead of leaving me to fend for myself. Dedication like that is hard to find and I got them both! While all the staff has had to withstand some terrible incidents over the past year, Suzanne has truly been my ‘shield’ putting herself in harm’s way.
I will forever be grateful for having worked with some of the best human beings on this planet. Any employer would be lucky to have them as employees but I’m blessed I can also consider them friends.

Jessica is a multi talented force I wish had come to the Pantry sooner. She took over pastry making duties and I enjoyed giving her new recipes to experiment with. She is also a talented quilter and seamstress. I plan to continue to enlist her help with some pie orders 😉

Buttercup Hollow Pantry was Kyra’s first job. Kyra is my ‘wild child’. A heart of gold and crazy sense of humour. She will be co-oping next semester down the street at Strands. I’m thinking it might be time for a new ‘do’. QUEEN!

I’m proud to say this amazing young lady applied here for her first job ever at 14. She started as a dishwasher then on counter and ended as our cookie maker.
Emily will be headed to university in the fall to study bio mechanical engineering. This weekend she will take her SAT test for applications to some select American universities. She has already been accepted here in Ontario.
Today is Emily’s last shift 🥲 so she can study hard for her test this weekend.
On behalf of myself and her coworkers we wish her good luck.
P.S. she has promised to make me the Bionic Woman someday, although I don’t know I want to be the Bionic Woman at 70 😆.

We will be baking daily as usual. Friday is our final day here and we aren’t about to let standards slip, drop in for a fresh croissant or muffin.
