The Grassroots Smokehouse Verdict

We are a family-run business from a farm in Bobcaygeon, and making the move to downtown Peterborough on George Street North was a huge step. Seeing the community rally behind us and actively recommend our wood-fired platters as their local favorites means the absolute world to us.
