Parma Ravioli first opened its doors in 1984 establishing itself as Ottawa’s first fresh pasta shop.  At one time, during its three decades of history, the factory was located on the corner of Clarence St. and Dalhousie; it was there, in the heart of the Byward Market, where Parma Ravioli became known for its manufacturing of fresh pasta.  In 1994, the current owners, Giuliano Zucconi, Carlo Zucconi and Richard Righi, bought the business.

The factory was then moved to its current location in Wellington West (corner of Clarendon and Wellington St.) in 1996. It was at this point that Parma began expanding its store from retail and wholesale to also include catering and an x-press hot food counter.

At present, Parma Ravioli is the largest pasta manufacturing company in Eastern Ontario. They continue to introduce new pasta types, sauces, and prepared oven-ready meals to their customers.

Ottawa Street Markets began as a community gathering spot on Beechwood Ave, in the City’s east end. In the early days, a few vendors, live music and a doomed bouncy castle attracted people from neighbouring communities. It became immediately apparent that people were after a small, local farmers’ market that was close to home. A market that could be reached easily on foot, a weekly attraction for families and a place to connect with local businesses.

The Beechwood Market was born.

The Beechwood Market has continued to grow and both the onsite and online markets have become a staple in local residents’ weekly agendas. With the advent of Covid 19, the decision was made not to open up the onsite market for the 2020 season. Instead, all vendors were moved to an online platform. Locals rallied to support the effort. It went well enough that both the onsite and online markets were able to open up for the 2021 season.

While the success of the Beechwood Market continued, work was being done with the Centretown Community Association to introduce the Elgin Street Market. Centretown’s first farmers’ market. Things got off to a rippin’ start in the Summer of 2021. The Elgin Street Market has since retained its own Online, year round pickup location at Haus of Plants, a local plant shop & cafe, right in the heart of Centretown.

Riding the Beechwood and Elgin wave, Ottawa Street Markets will open up its third Onsite community market in the Alta Vista neighbourhood, in Spring 2022. The Alta Vista online pickup location has already proven that residents are keen on supporting local and having a great source for local products to be available to them throughout the year. 

In January 2022, they launched their FIFTH pickup location in Carlington, at Carlington Coffee House. Working in association with the Carlington Community Association, they are hoping to bring more of the market experience to the neighbourhood.

The long term vision for Ottawa Street Markets is to have Onsite and Online pickup locations in at least a dozen neighbourhoods by 2025. The future is in the communities and Ottawa Street Markets is here to help create something exciting, accessible and sustainable.

Knifewear owner, Kevin Kent fell in love with Japanese knives when he was the Sous Chef to Fergus Henderson of St John Restaurant London. A few years later he began selling Japanese knives out of a backpack on the back of his bicycle, while working as a chef at River Café in Calgary, Alberta. He often travels to Japan to learn more about the ancient art of knife-making and on one of his trips, he brought cameras into one of the blacksmith shops he regularly visits. The result is the 'accidental documentary', Springhammer.

SPRINGHAMMER is a documentary about Japanese blacksmiths who dedicate their lives to making culinary knives (it's also the actual mechanical tool used by the blacksmiths). At the end of WWII, Japan was faced with a burdensome repurposing of many industries and with military swords no longer in demand, despite a tradition carried on since the samurai, the industry turned to the kitchen. Craftsmen, now applying ancient trade skills of blade making to cookery, go largely unnoticed by their countrymen and have to find a new place in the world for their craft. Thankfully, the world seems to be starting to listen.

Like a tagine or casserole, a thali describes not only a type of kitchenware, but a type of meal. A thali is constructed of many small dishes served on a platter that harmonize through contrasting textures, visual appeal, complimentary spices, and sheer deliciousness. Once reserved for special occasions, this traditional way of eating is now a popular way of dining at home.

In My Thali, award-winning chef and author Joe Thottungal shares his favorite home-cooked recipes and stories from his homeland of Kerala, connecting past and present in the world of Indian cooking today. This exploration of food heritage features a collection of 85 signature recipes—from simple raitas to nourishing dals and fragrant curries—that can be easily re-created at home, using accessible ingredients and everyday cooking equipment, and without any compromise to flavor or authenticity. Each recipe can be enjoyed on its own or joined together to compose a complete and balanced meal; suggested menus are included for constructing these “feasts on a plate.”

My Thali celebrates the South Indian cooking and the joys of thalis, both simple and homey, and grand and glorious.

Limestone Creamery is a 3rd generation organic dairy farm. Their farm was established over 50 years ago in 1967 by Lilianne and Gerry Grooms. Together their children and grandchildren Francis, Kathie, Patrick, and Olivia Groenewegen now have the honor and responsibility to care for the land and the animals.

30 years ago they transitioned to organic agriculture. They are working to create a healthy, sustainable soil. A soil to support healthy diverse grass pastures for our cows to graze. They encourage biodiversity in their fields and hedgerows and they can see how it attracts pollinators. The folks at Limestone Creamery are building a better farm ecosystem to address the climate crisis.
Their milk is grass-fed.

12 years ago we built a dairy plant. They began processing their own milk. Community support has been wonderful! Through that support we’ve been able to involve 40 fellow farmers and makers, hire 18 people, help to rebuild the local food system and strengthen food security. 2020 has shown them how fragile that food system is.

The creamery includes a home delivery service and farm store where they offer many local and organic whole foods. Ice cream is their latest addition and it has proven to be a remedy for 2020.

Cheryl has been making salsa for a long time – in fact, as near as we can figure, this journey started somewhere around 2001 or 2002. Since the very first batches made in her west-end Ottawa home with the help of her children, she’s been refining the recipe and sharing the results with family and friends.

Every year, those family members and friends kept telling her how darned good it is … and that “you should be selling this stuff”. So in early 2019, she finally took the leap and launched Mom’s Homemade style salsa.

With the assistance of family, friends and the kind folks at Mrs. McGarrigle’s in Merrickville, Cheryl created her first batches to share with you and your families through a select group of specialty shops in and around Ottawa.

Mrs. McGarrigle’s came to life in 1988, born of the spirit and determination of its founder, Janet Campbell.

Though humble in its beginnings – manufacturing condiments in the basement of one of Ottawa’s hostels after-hours – Mrs. McGarrigle’s has morphed into a stylish gourmet food, fine kitchenware and home décor retailer – a unique epicurean destination in the National Capital area and an undeniable lure for those who enjoy fine cooking, fine dining and fine living.

As the business itself, the store – located in historic and picturesque Merrickville, Ontario – has expanded again and again.

Now occupying 3000 square feet in what was originally an 1888 General Store, it not only accommodates the retail business, but also serves as premises for the mustard and condiment manufacturing operation as well as a respected cooking school.

Open 7 days a week 10:00am - 6:00pm

Nellie’s Room is a labour of love, a way for 3 sisters to stay connected with each other, to stay local, and be involved in a business we feel can bring joy to others. We all bring very different ideas and styles to the store, and we hope you can find a small piece that speaks to you and brings you, or a loved one, enjoyment - because that is what it is all about!

The saying “If you can’t find it, it’s up in Nellie’s Room” came from our mom, and she said it a lot when we were growing up. It was her way of saying, “You didn’t look hard enough”, and “Don’t make me come in there!” It was passed down to her from her mom, and we just liked the way we could tie something old with something new.

The folks at London Brewing Cooperative believe that great beers start with superior ingredients. That’s why they choose the finest local and organic malts and hops available. However, contained within the pint is far more than just a great beer. It’s a beer that celebrates the hard work and wisdom of local farmers. It’s a beer that values relationships, cooperation, and community. It’s a beer that recognizes the finite nature of our home planet, and the need to make sustainable choices in everything they do. It’s a beer that believes that a more equitable society starts with a democratic workplace. 

In short, contained within is a great beer that can better our world, one pint at a time.

Ontario Honey Creations is a family owned and operated beekeeping business, specializing in seasonal terroir honey, artisanal honey vinegars, and Meads. Peter Chorabik and Sarah Allinson-Chorabik, dedicated to providing 100% raw and unpasteurized honey from their own bee yards located throughout the GTA. Current bee yard locations can be found throughout Toronto, Headwaters and Rouge Valley region. 

Ontario Honey Creations beekeeping experience began in 2012 when Peter decided to follow in the footsteps of three generations of beekeepers before him. They started with two hives and had the desire to expand their apiary. Peter and Sarah began posting ads on a classified site for free honeybee swarm removal services. They were quickly amazed by the demand. As an alternative to calling an exterminator, they founded their sister company Toronto Bee Rescue, which focuses on humane honey bee removals.

Their beekeeping hobby grew quickly, and by 2015 they had 120 hives. It was at this point that Sarah decided to leave corporate life behind and focus on building Ontario Honey Creations to share their delicious honey. By 2018, with over 400 hives, Peter left corporate life as well to transition to a full-time beekeeper. Since then, they have been dedicated to growing their apiaries and sharing their honey products with all of you.

In 2020, they moved their family to their new farm in Mulmur on Airport Road where they quickly expanded with chickens, turkeys, and their beloved KuneKune pigs. Peter and Sarah look forward to inviting you to their farm this summer so you can experience the art of beekeeping, learn more about honeybees and get to meet their adorable KuneKune pigs.
