SMALL BUSINESS PROFILE

Kate, The Spice Lady

By Jacqui Chaisson Photos: Mark Lysko

Kate the Spice Lady has a crazy passion for how a pinch of cinnamon or a garnish of herbs can elevate a simple dish to new heights. What began as an enthusiastic part-time hobby soon turned into a passion, which led to the establishment of her popular stall at the Charlottetown Farmers' Market in 2010. Following on from its incredible success, in 2015 Kate opened her first herb and spice store on St. Peter’s Road in Charlottetown. A warm and welcoming spot with a medley of enticing aromas, the store is an art gallery, gift shop and café all rolled into one! Kate the Spice Lady sells a wide selection of herbs and spices, blends, and masalas, freshly ground each week or to order. She sources fair trade and/or pesticide-free products wherever possible, and lovingly grows and dries many of the herbs herself. You'll also find her herbs and spices incorporated into the menu at her café, which features a delicious range of dishes prepared by Chef Simon for the popular weekday lunch service. Kate the Spice Lady can also be found at the Charlottetown Farmers' Market every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Wednesdays during the market’s summer hours. Just follow the aroma to her stall, next to Caledonia Coffee. Can’t get enough of our famous herbs, spices, blends, and masalas? Call or email to order your fix, and she’ll have it ready pronto for you to pick up in store or at the farmers' market (online shipping coming soon!). The majority of Kate's products are proudly pesticide-free and fair trade, with all blends freshly ground to order.
