Welcome to 2DA Market! We’re Laurie and Tessa, a mother-daughter team who started this journey in 2019 to combine our passions for cooking, food, and life on the farm. What began as a recipe-sharing collaboration soon grew to encompass our love of adventure and community.
In 2021, we expanded with 2DA Market, our lifestyle shop featuring thoughtfully curated clothing, homewares, and more. Based at Windswept Farm in Creemore, Ontario, you’ll often find us hosting pop-ups or connecting with our community around town.
Our farm family—four goats, two dogs, a famous cat (you need to meet Kevin), chickens, and, of course, a couple of boys—keep us company and remind us daily of the joy in simple, meaningful living. We’re so grateful to share it all with you.

This month we are reading Table for Two by Amor Towles. This is a series of six short stories based in NYC, and one novella set in Hollywood's Golden Era. If you were a fan of Gentleman in Moscow, you won't want to pass this book up.
How can Towles, even in short stories, make you feel, smell and hear everything he writes about? He's like a human time-travelling machine.
Each story has a little lesson, almost like a modern-day fable. Towles writes with humour and wit and makes the reader connect with every character.
If you haven't read any of Towles writing, this would be a great intro to his work.
