As Briwood looks forward to its 35th year, the market remains steadfast in its mission: keeping things fresh, local, and personal. Walking through the aisles, customers are greeted by familiar faces and products sourced as close to home as possible. “As soon as it’s available locally, we have it,” Brian notes. While the market has seen plenty of change over the years, its core values remain the same, community, quality, and connection. And as the shelves fill with seasonal produce and the holiday cookbook makes its return, Briwood continues to embody what it has always been: a local market that feels like home. Wishing you a whisk-ful Christmas, sprinkled with joy, baked with love, and served with plenty of family time. May your holidays be well-seasoned with laughter, frosted with fun, and filled to the brim with sweet memories fresh from the oven of togetherness!
35 Years of Community and the 3rd Holiday Cookbook Briwood Farm Market has been a cornerstone of St. Thomas for more than three decades, with 2026 marking an exciting milestone, their 35th anniversary. For Brian Giles and his business partner, Sherwood Lefler, the journey has always been about more than groceries. It’s about relationships, with customers, local farmers, and the broader community. “For almost 35 years, Briwood has worked with local growers and suppliers to bring the freshest products possible to our customers,” says Brian. “But it’s not just about what’s on the shelves, it’s about the sense of community and belonging. We care about the organizations, small businesses, and people around us, and supporting local is a big part of what we do.” A new beloved tradition: the Briwood Farm Market Holiday Cookbook is back. Now in its 3rd edition, the cookbook has become a highlight of the season for customers. “I was excited to bring the book back again because it has such great value for customers and local businesses,” Brian explains. “The excitement has been incredible; people ask about it every year and look forward to getting their copy.” The cookbook is a true collaboration, featuring recipes from local businesses, staff members, and even customers. It reflects the diversity of tastes and traditions that make the St. Thomas community unique. “It’s special to see recipes from familiar faces and favourite spots in town come together in one place,” Brian adds.
