PRODUCTS FROM OUR LOCAL PARTNERS
Grape Lakes Farm & Vineyard is proud to boast our affiliations with local businesses that support sustainable practices.
Dyan’s Garlic Sauce
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A LITTLE GARLIC!
So thrilled to partner with Dyan, and to offer my clients her insanely addictive garlic sauce. Dyan lives in Kingsville and has worked at several Windsor markets for many years..where she always sold out! She enjoys making, selling and eating her fresh garlic sauce. If you’re a garlic lover, you’ve come to the right place.
Her Garlic Sauce is made using the following ingredients:
Grape Lake’s Farm Pesticide Free Music Garlic. (she prefers music garlic as it is not as pungent as other varieties)
Avocado Oil. It is rich in oleic acid and has a high flash point. So go ahead and toss a chicken breast of the BBQ with some garlic sauce and BINGO you are good to go!
Lemon Juice
Sea Salt
It’s vegan friendly, gluten free and 100% Delicious!
John O Fish
Our motto at the farm is great produce deserves great protein. We are completely thrilled to offer the first sustainable source of rainbow trout raised exclusively in the pristine waters off of Manitoulin Island. No contaminants, hormones or anitbiotics. Thanks to John O’s Foods for teaming up with the people of Sheshegwaning of the Odawa Nation of Anishnaabek to bring this incredible process from lake to plate that I can truly say…doesn’t get any better than catching the fish yourself. If you are like me…I was always doing the smell test when I purchased fish from a grocery store. Asking my husband, does this smell fresh? I LOVE fish and just wanted to have absolute comfort knowing it was fresh. We are fond of calling this trout FBF – Fresh Beyond Frozen. See below for the mouth watering details on how it got this nickname:
Demanding production standards create this incredible sustainable tasting protein in the cold, gorgeous clean Canadian waters at Manitoulin Island. Within hours of swimming John’s team processes the trout using the newest technology in a state of the art cryogenic freezing tunnel that flash freezes the fish and packages it in thermal sealing vac packaging.
What does all this mean…once defrosted which just takes minutes you can literally smell the lake on this fish and taste how fresh it is.
Nutrition Rich. Protein. Omega 3 fatty acids. Vitamin B Complex, D, Calcium, Iron and Zinc.

Tibicos:ins | $10.00
Tibicos:ins
What a lucky day it was for me when Katherine came into our farm store to buy our pesticide free grapes. I always ask what are you going to do with them…thinking juice, jelly..wine..grappa. To my surprise she introduced something to me that I have never heard of before and right up my alley. I had been making my own Kombucha for many years. Working with a scoby isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I had many fails and I would question my end product..maybe I left it too long…did it go bad..etc. etc. After 6 weeks I would dump it and start the process again.
In walks Katherine and introduces me to an incredibly easy and FAST way to make a yummy healthy probiotic drink in 8 hrs! Using Concord Grape Juice! What??? Using She brought me in a sample and after learning more, I was hooked and asked if she would like to partner up and use my unsprayed grapes so I could sell her product. My experience has been in warm weather your fizzy probiotic drink can be ready in 8 hrs, in the winter months when my kitchen counter is cooler it can take up to 48 hrs. It is up to you on how long you let it ferment, according to your taste.
Enjoy drinking your own living, concentrated, immune-supporting probiotics for a healthy gut microbiome. Probiotics are generally more effective for gut healing when they are living and abundant (in concentrations of more than 500,000,000 CFU/ml). Probiotic supplements are generally dehydrated & have much lower concentrations.
