Merchandise in March

Springridge is one month away from re-opening. We are excited about offering our customers new product lines as well as welcoming back some of our favourites. Here's an exclusive product preview for this spring.

Dean & DeLuca
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the famous gourmet food emporium Dean & DeLuca. This NYC-based specialty food shop first opened its doors to the neighbourhood of SoHo in 1977. They have since expanded their cafes around the globe. Springridge Farm is proud to be the only retailer of Dean & DeLuca products in Ontario. We are featuring gourmet coffees, specialty teas, sauces, marinades and rubs. The Black Truffle Barbecue Sauce is a must for connoisseurs of the grill. We are also retailing the Dean & DeLuca vintage diner mugs - a great gift for under $10!

Kevin Robert Gray Glassblowing
Kevin's Witch Balls are a new, Canadian-made product for us. Kevin operates a glassblowing studio in Merrickville, Ontario. He uses precious metals and recycled crystal glass to create his art. Historically, witch balls were hung in the home to promote peace and harmony. Each glass ball is unique in colour and design. Look for this item, sparkling in the springtime sun, on the Deck at Springridge.

Bridgewater Candle Company
We are introducing a full line of natural soy blend candles by Bridgewater. These candles are clean burning and come in sophisticated scents. We are featuring four items in each scent including jar candles, votives, tea lites and sachets. Last season, our customers enjoyed the candles because they are in an attractive modern jar that can be reused. Springridge is eager for customers to peruse the new candles in fresh fragrances.

Janet Baskets
These eco-friendly baskets are a favourite at Springridge! We've ordered 2 new patterns for the spring. The baskets are fully collapsible and come in small and large sizes. If you're riding the reusable bag wave then this basket will come in handy at grocery stores, farm markets and picnics. The baskets are a great gift for any age.

See you in our store on April 1! No fooling.

February at the Farm

Welcome to Springridge Farm's new retail blog! Even though we are closed to the public over the winter, our staff is busy preparing for the 2010 season.

Springridge staff recently scouted out new merchandise at the By Hand Show in Toronto. The show featured artisans from all over Canada, who specialized in handmade glass, jewelry, woodwork, pottery and home decor items. We have an increased interest in finding merchandise produced locally and the show provided us with lots of fresh ideas for our customers.

Last week, our buyers also attended the Canadian Gift & Tableware Association Gift Show. The show was host to over 1,000 exhibitors and we are excited to bring some innovative products into our store this year.

Springing ahead to what you can look forward to when we re-open on April 1:

We are celebrating 50 years on the farm and we would like you to join us in embracing classic items that will have longevity in your household.

We are expanding our popular Canadian-made collection. In addition to carved maple bowls, rock inukshuks and pottery, look for our new wine barrel platters and fused glass serving pieces.

Enjoy new items in our nautical section. If you can't make the trip to Cape Cod this summer, you can still get inspired by our seafaring merchandise.

You will find a pop of colour in our home decor displays. This season is all about incorporating bold colours and we are featuring accent pieces in turquoise and green.

Looking forward to sharing retail tidbits, tips and trends. Check back soon!
