Prefer Blondes?
Here at the roastery, we found the recent commotion around 'Blonde' coffee quite entertaining. The fact that a sizable percentage of the coffee drinking public prefer a lighter style roast is not new news. That is why we have been offering a great product like Northern Lights for 11 years. In fact, it is our roastmaster's favourite coffee. So, if you are not a dark coffee lover, check out Northern Lights in the SHOP and compare it to the new ... Continue Reading
Authentic Northern Lights
The trip up to Attawapiskat was amazing. The winter up here is really winter! The ice road is broad and smooth, better than a lot of the roads in Toronto! I’m sorry to report that the living conditions here are worse than what I have seen in China. Managing to get some good one-on-one interviews and video footage, as well as this amazing shot of the Northern Lights. There were five MPPs up here yesterday. They were all rea... Continue Reading

New RFA Sumatran Arrives
We're delighted that 100% Rainforest Alliance certified coffee from some very special origins is starting to arrive at the roastery.

A Day Without Muskoka Maple...
Allo, allo; today was the day. The much dreaded day I ran out of your delicious coffee that I received for Christmas. What would I DO!! My mornings would be forever dull and mopey and grey...Alas! The website says I can purchase this golden morning brightener at Foodland in Barrie!!! Hurray! We fought the elements today and made our way there, only to discover they do not stock the whole bean variety of Muskoka Maple. Deeeeep sigh. I sure... Continue Reading
Investing In Our Future
This month, we were pleased to host an event at our new factory in Huntsville that was focused on growth, investment and opportunities for young graduates. Muskoka has not been immune to the economic challenges experienced by much of North America, with more factory and resort closings. Against that backdrop, the announcements made today were welcome news for many members of the community who joined us at the roastery. Tony Cle... Continue Reading

Now, I have to drive from Laval, Quebec to make sure I have that coffee all the time. But I don't mind. Thank you for making such a good product; my mornings have never been the same. Madeleine, Laval Continue Reading
