After retiring in 2018, Francine Miller found herself drawn back into the kitchen, recreating her late mother’s cherished dessert recipes. What started as a personal passion quickly turned into something more when friends and family began raving about her treats. In spring 2024, she took the leap into local farmers markets—and TreatZone was born.

TreatZone brings comforting, nostalgic desserts with a unique spin. Francine bakes everything herself, offering a delicious array of cookies, sweet bars, and squares—many with roots in time-honoured family recipes. Her lemon bars are a crowd favourite, but the peanut butter bars have earned a special reputation of being “better than Reese’s.”

Adding a new layer of flavour for 2025, Francine now offers home-roasted nuts:
🥜 Cinnamon sugar walnuts
🥜 Spice candied pecans (great chopped on salads!)
🥜 Salted chocolate cashews

Come the holiday season, TreatZone transforms into a festive delight with meringue cookies, chocolate bark, shortbread, and other Christmas classics.

What sets TreatZone apart isn't just the baking—it's Francine’s love for the community. She treasures the camaraderie among vendors, the loyal market-goers, and the stories shared with curious tourists who visit our beautiful region.

Whether you’re craving something sweet or looking for the perfect snack, swing by TreatZone—where every bite tells a story.

So happy to be a part of this.

There’s something about this farmers’ market that feels truly special. There is something that is hard to put into words because it’s more of a feeling than a transaction. It carries a unique energy, a sense of community woven between vendors and visitors alike. Regulars and travellers mingle in an eclectic mix, and together they create a space filled with conversation, exchange, and genuine connectedness. Oh, and the vendor products are FANTASTIC.
