On the Farm: Fresh Produce and Passionate People
Sustainability and buying local are deeply rooted in Sutton's way of life. The destination has grown around a shared commitment to eating locally, living well and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
Throughout the area, farms, producers and local businesses welcome visitors with open arms, offering food that is fresh, authentic and locally grown. At Les Potagers des Nues Mains, nestled among breathtaking landscapes, you can purchase seasonal vegetables from the self-serve farm stand or at the Saturday Public Market, or subscribe to weekly organic vegetable baskets. Sugaree Farm is another must-visit stop for fresh local products. Every Saturday, the farm hosts a farmers' market where visitors can also enjoy delicious vegetarian tacos. Curious to try something unique? Sutton is also home to artisan fir honey and handcrafted kombucha, both created by Jérémie Postel and showcasing his distinctive expertise.
One of the things that stands out most in Sutton is how easily local products find their way into everyday life. You'll discover them in grocery stores, on restaurant menus and even in locally made skincare products. Many of Sutton's favourite dining destinations, including Tartinizza, La Rumeur affamée, Round Top Bagels, À l'Abordage Microbrewery and Sutton Brouërie, proudly feature seasonal dishes inspired by local ingredients.
For a true taste of small-town charm, stop by Alban Houle et fils, a beloved neighbourhood grocery store where conversations flow just as naturally as shopping for fresh apples and tomatoes.
A Vineyard Tour
Buying local in Sutton also means raising a glass. The region is home to four beautiful vineyards, each offering its own distinctive character and wines. As summer draws to a close, the vines are heavy with ripe grape clusters, creating postcard-worthy landscapes that invite visitors to linger from one vineyard to the next. Each estate has its own personality, making a vineyard tour one of the best ways to experience the region.
