to tradition, dedication, and the art of homemade goodness.

Kitchen Kuttings, a beloved Mennonite-owned store specializing

in locally-sourced homemade food products, celebrates over 35

years of success in serving its community.


What began as a modest venture in 1988, with Lydia, Nancy, and

Elmeda showcasing their homemade Summer Sausage at the St.

Jacob's Farmer's Market, has flourished into a thriving business

cherished by locals and sought after by connoisseurs across Canada.

Their commitment to preserving tradition and honoring their culinary

 heritage has been the cornerstone of their success


From their humble beginnings, Kitchen Kuttings has grown into a

bustling establishment, offering a wide array of homemade delights,

including handcrafted cheeses, delectable preserves, and their

signature Summer Sausage, which remains their top-selling product,

fostering community and connection. With warm smiles greeting

customers at every turn, the store has become a gathering place

where friendships are forged over shared love for quality food

and genuine hospitality.


Craftsmanship is at the heart of Kitchen Kuttings' ethos. Every

product on their shelves is a labor of love, meticulously crafted

using time-honored techniques and the finest locally-sourced

ingredients. The dedication to quality has earned them a loyal

following and a reputation for excellence.


As Kitchen Kuttings marks its 35th anniversary, the celebration

is not just about past achievements but also about looking ahead

to a future filled with promise and growth. With the recent

addition of Shirley as a partner and the expansion of their café,

the store is poised for even greater success in the years to come.
