An interesting and rewarding venture, Codiac Cheese has been very well received by Moncton marketgoers, and their kiosk is always a busy place on Saturdays.

Magnetic Hill Winery

Our fair province of New Brunswick is world-renowned for the natural resources that make it unique. A variety of wonderful fruit has led to special fruit products including a rich sampling of fine wines from some of the province’s finest wineries, one of the newest being the Magnetic Hill Winery. Its fine fruit wines can now be found at our area Farmers Markets in a variety of choices which include strawberry, strawberry rhubarb, and dessert raspberry – their favourite wines, and apple, pear, cherry, and blueberry for true variety. Also carrying a selection of maple products, this brand new winery, which was established in 2005, is committed to bringing the traditional bounty of the land to both fellow New Brunswickers and visitors to our region alike.

Magnetic Hill Winery is owned and operated by Jeff and Janet Everett whose boundless energy and respect for the area’s heritage has resulted in a unique marrying of a modern wine making facility with an historic 1878 home which they purchased and restored to its original splendour after over a decade of abandonment. Located at 860 Front Mountain Road, this lovely blend of Victorian and Greek Revival architecture still contains its original woodwork. Great care has been taken to retain the building’s integrity and the addition of an old-style cellar where the visitor can sample wines, relax, and enjoy the panoramic view of the City of Moncton combines the special features of a heritage site and a winery that is sure to become a tourist destination. In fact, its proximity to the Magnetic Hill Zoo and Magic Mountain Water Theme Park makes it a vital part of a one-stop location for the area’s feature attractions.

Visit Magnetic Hill Winery’s display at the market where you’ll find a terrific selection of wines beautifully packaged for gift-giving.
