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

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

A good example is the new RFA Sumatra Mandheling Grade 1 from the Aceh province. In this part of Indonesia, coffee comes fro... Continue Reading

A report from the Pew Environmental Group, published in March 2011, contains some interesting findings, as well as implications for us at the Muskoka Roastery. There are 5 mainly intact boreal forest regions on earth and Canada’s is the largest, accounting for 54% of the total. Our boreal forest contains 25% of the world’s wetlands, and more surface water than any other continental landscape. The tropical rainforest gets much more... Continue Reading

Jean is a past cottager and Erin is in the market for a cottage as we speak. Hopefully, our coffee... Continue Reading

Our second print execution, Regina Island, broke in magazines in April. We shot the ad on October 12th, 2010 at Regina Island on Lake Muskoka.

Ross and Jean Purdy graciously agreed to welcome us to their magical little island and allow us access to the cottage which had alre... Continue Reading
