The Roost Farm is thrilled to announce the opening of The Roost Market, offering a wide array of local farm products and fresh, ready-to-go meals in the Kawartha Lakes.

As part of its expansion, The Roost also introduces a two-bedroom Airbnb, providing a unique farm stay experience in a historic setting.

The Roost Market, located at the site of the historic Dalrymple General Store, will serve as a hub for fresh, local produce, farm-raised meats, eggs, maple syrup, preserves, and artisanal gifts from both The Roost farm and neighbouring farms in Kawartha Lakes, Simcoe County, Durham Region and the greater Ontario farm community.

Visitors will enjoy takeaway options, including sandwiches, soups, salads, baked goods, and hot beverages. This will bring much-needed, high-quality, convenient meals to the area.

The Roost also offers an immersive getaway with a newly renovated, charming, country-glam two-bedroom Airbnb. Visitors can enjoy a stylish, photo-ready retreat, with stunning views of the land. The Airbnb experience allows guests to connect with the beauty of farm life, explore scenic trails, and relax in a serene countryside setting. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, offering an authentic yet elevated farm stay.
