Our story
Started at the kitchen table.
Fern & Filo opened in the spring of 2019 — or, more accurately, spilled from the windowsill onto a card table at the Junction Farmers Market. We were the pair with too many propagated pothos and too much confidence in a grapefruit-and-rosemary shrub recipe.
Five years later, we're still small. Still picky about what makes it to the shelf. We carry ceramics from a potter in Dundas, honey from hives outside Elora, and candles poured in batches of twelve.
We believe a neighbourhood shop should feel like an exhale. Warm wood, good light, something blooming in the corner.
