What to expect at a Taste of the Valley event?
Visitors can expect a wide range of offerings, including locally grown in-season produce, farm-raised meats, locally made preserves, frozen take-home meals, fresh baked goods and hot, ready-to-eat food on site. Plus, since Renfrew County culture is more than just food, you can also browse handmade crafts, art, jewelry, woodworking and specialty items. Shop knowing that all the vendors are local to the Ottawa Valley, and you'll support the local economy while enjoying a fun shopping experience.
Join us in supporting local businesses, discovering new vendors, and connecting with the vibrant artisanal spirit of the Valley. Check out our upcoming events and be part of this Valley tradition!
