DISCOVER: AN INSPIRED SHOPPING DESTINATION GENERAL BROCK’S COMMISSARY – LOCAL FOOD TASTES GOOD! Cornerstone manager Lisa Scales, left and owner Penny Knapp, right. General Brock’s Commissary is one of Kingston’s latest editions to the foodie lover’s block downtown – that small stretch on Brock Street just north of King – where it’s nestled among other established gems. Inspired by the history of its location, it’s just steps away from the site of Kingston’s original military commissary (a general store that catered to troops during the War of 1812). General Brock’s Commissary is an epicurean delight that brings the flavors of Upper Canada to your kitchen table. This charming independent shop hosts sampling stations allowing customers to try new products before purchasing. Taste the difference with a variety of locally-made treats and artisanal foods – from gourmet mustards, jams, chutneys and barbeque spices to Mennonite sausages, handmade chocolate truffles and fudge, distinct confectionary goods and speciality gift items like small-batch goat’s milk soap and other handmade souvenirs. Come visit with General Brock and Commodore Yeo and relive Kingston’s valiant military history and get a taste for Kingston during the War of 1812. Commissary hours are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. General Brock’s Commissary, 86 Brock St., 613-484-1587 www.generalbrockscommissary.com www.facebook.com/generalbrockscommissary GENERAL BROCK’S COMMISSARY 86 Brock St., 613-484-1587, www.generalbrockscommissary.com JEWELRY STRIKE UP THE BAND Layer by layer, local goldsmith Emily Wojna has illuminated ancient traditions in this stunning collection of bands.
