Wendy's Country Market — Local services in Rideau Lakes

Do Not Miss This Place. Children enjoy the farm animals, for gardeners a wide selection of bedding plants and flowers and there is a spectacular selection of local food for all.

And when I say fresh, I literally mean buying a cantaloupe that she just picked from the field while you wait!! Wendy is so caring and positive and despite Covid she tries to create a fun experience for her customers! We want to go back to Lyndhurst just so we can visit...
