Now well over a decade in business, Eddington’s of Exeter, a Feast On-certified restaurant in Exeter, Ontario, attributes its success to creating flavourful and creative meals consistently, using the best of Huron County’s bounty. Owner James Eddington states “We are so blessed to be living in such an agriculturally rich area of the world”.

"Being isolated on the Farm in Huron County has allowed for more time outdoors, more time to inspire and more time to learn a different pace. As we are truly a Farm to Table restaurant, we love foraging and finding fresh ingredients of the season. Fresh out of the ground is a true taste of Ontario."
