community as well as visitors.<br />
We began our second day at Anne Campion’s<br />
Revel, located in a former feed store off<br />
Stratford’s Market Square. Its tagline is<br />
“independent coffee for a revolution.” This<br />
community hub includes a custom-made<br />
communal table where we assembled for coffee<br />
and samples of delicious in-house baking.<br />
The next part of our trip was through<br />
gently rolling landscape dotted with farms<br />
on the outskirts of the historic stone<br />
town of St. Marys. Here lies the pastoral<br />
50-acre Transvaal Farm. Cindy Taylor and<br />
husband Scott McLauchlan are the epitome<br />
of hospitality and provide an informative<br />
agritourism experience. Besides meeting “the<br />
girls,” a bevy of Rhode Island Reds, the main<br />
elements of this adventure are a tour of the<br />
farm property by Scott McLaughlan, a lavish<br />
farm-to-table breakfast prepared by Cindy at<br />
the guest house, and a tour of the small-scale<br />
artisan goat cheese plant operated by Cindy’s<br />
brother, owner and cheesemaker of C’estbon<br />
Cheese Limited, George Taylor.<br />
Operations at C’estbon began as a retirement<br />
project for Taylor 16 years ago when<br />
he swapped a flock of sheep for a herd of<br />
Globally inspired Tacos, Tapas, & Prix Fixe<br />
