Make a day of it
For many visitors, Lee & Maria’s is more than a quick stop. It can be part of a slower day spent exploring Essex County, whether that means heading out along the Lake Erie North Shore wine route, taking in the surrounding countryside or settling in for a more relaxed regional stay. The lofts extend that experience by giving guests a comfortable, stylish place to stay with the market close at hand.
A market designed to feel good to shop
Lee & Maria’s is built around the idea that food shopping can still feel personal. The market is meant to be easy to browse, easy to trust and worth lingering in for a few extra minutes. Whether you arrive with a list or simply want to see what is fresh, the experience should feel welcoming, calm and connected to the region.
What you’ll find here
Fresh produce
Seasonal produce remains at the heart of the market, with a mix of items grown on our own farm and carefully sourced offerings from across the region and beyond.
A curated market
Alongside produce, you will find pantry goods, preserves, cheese, frozen meals, coffee, kombucha, oils, vinegar and other thoughtful items chosen to make everyday shopping feel a little better.
Seasonal character
The market changes through the year, with fresh arrivals, shifting colours and products that reflect the season. A visit in spring feels different from a visit in summer, fall or winter.
A sense of the season
Part of what makes Lee and Maria’s worth visiting is that it never feels entirely static. The market shifts with the time of year, from early fresh harvests and greenhouse colour to the abundance of summer, the texture of fall and the comforts of colder months. A visit is not only about what you need today. It's also about what the season is bringing in.
