It may be a little off the beaten path, but you’ll know when you’re driving past Quaker Oaks Farm. The colourful converted garage that houses the store backs onto lush gardens and an animal sanctuary.

The Quest for the Perfect Butter Tart: A Visit to Fenelon Falls

I’ve just arrived in Fenelon Falls and I’m charmed already. The Trent-Severn Waterway passes right through the centre of town, where the eponymous falls power a hydro dam. Lock 34 sits on the other side of a concrete quay, and walking out to the tip of it I can see the falls on my left and a topiary hedge that spells “Fenelon Falls” on the other.
