Agrarian Cheese Market and Speakeasy

I really slept over an artisanal cheese shop. In the most darling of Ontario towns. Bloomfield. Lucky me!

Agrarian is a cheese market, speakeasy, bistro and café.  Whether you’re looking for gourmet grilled cheese, wild game charcuterie, barista prepared coffee, or terroir based wine; it is all of the earth and prepared by them, for you. Whenever possible their food and drink is grown, raised and produced locally. From the farm, dairy, bakery and winery right to your table. Pull-up a chair and enjoy simple, but good food and soak up the rustic warmth of their dining room. 

Agrarian also caters and provides ‘to go’ cheese and charcuterie platters. Come rest your roots at Agrarian, you’ll be happy you did.

Agrarian now offers a weekend Winemaker's Menu at Keint-he Winery & Vineyards. 

(Keint-he is very proud of a 90 point review for their 2012 Voyageur Vidal from David Lawrason. The 2012 Voyageur Vidal is featured in the current issues of Grapevine Magazine and Ottawa Life Magazine.)

Editor's Note:  

Best grilled cheese I've ever tasted. In fact, while I was in a flower shop in Wasaga Beach, a Chef from a vineyard in Niagara recommended I make Agrarian my main priority (of my 48 hour trip to Prince Edward County) for the grilled cheese. Salad dressing to die for. (Harissa and creme fraiche) Friendly Staff. Agrarian cozy with a rough luxe vibe. Large patio. Local Food Market opening Canada Day Weekend 2013. (The new Speakeasy space in the lower level is going to be incredible. Flapper Style.) Will definitely make it a Canadian favorite!
