In KW region, there's Ana Mae's - Millbank and rumoured to be moving into the old Crossroads space in Elmira/St Jacobs; the Wallenstein general store sells Long Johns - cream buns; Yatton Home Baking and Floradale's Hillcrest Bakery make excellent desserts; and many other small towns in the region sell varieties of donuts. I imagine London area has similar local institutions.
I think we're particular lucky in Waterloo-Wellington area and I wonder if other regions are as well off. It's not just baked goods, but market gardening seems to happen in this area at a scale that I don't see elsewhere.
