Baysville General Store

Happy Thanksgiving Baysville what are 3 things you’re thankful for this holiday? Here at the General Store, we’re thankful for the welcoming Community around us. Like neighbours Dustin & Insia Anderson as well as their wonderful family who so kindly invited us with open arms for thanksgiving dinner when plans for our own fell through.... We’re thankful for the singing birds, tall trees, and fresh lakeside breeze so common and shared throughout Muskoka and our tiny hamlet. We’re thankful for the relationships that have held strong, whether together or from a distance. Whether in agreement or not. And of course we thank you all for your continued support. Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, The Baysville General Store Team

To our amazing customers, friends, and staff that remain, we look forward to your company in embracing the treasures only a Fall in Muskoka can offer....

Its been an interesting few days! We werent sure whether accepting an interview for the Globe & Mail on such a heated topic would be a good idea. But we also felt our experience as general store operators in a tourist economy lent us the unique perspective of ranging sentiments from a wide audience. One less attached to any specific class, industry, or interest. Our hope was that by sharing our experience with many customers, the journalist might write a more neutral story th...Continue reading

The following podcast features a head of an Italian hospital in an area hard hit by the virus. Key takeaways: - his staff cries every day - 60%+ of beds and resources are now allocated to Covid-19 - family members and friends are NOT allowed to visit but staff are so overwhelmed that they’re forgetting to call and report the deceased to their relatives - 450 nurses in his hospital are now off sick.... -surgeries are not able to take place - patients with other illnesses are unable to be seen or dealt with properly - not enough masks and resources for staff or patients PLEASE. Do not go out for non-essentials. Take this seriously. We are far from the Italian experience, but this virus knows no bounds, and spreads exponentially under the right circumstances. Being preventative and cautious now may have us feeling silly in the future if all goes well, but any other alternative is far worse. https://podcasts.apple.com//podcast/the-daily/id1200361736

We will charge a flat fee of $15 (+$10 for any additional stops ie. hardware store, etc) To Order: Inbox us with your shopping list, and allow for 24 hours to process your order. Your delivery will be shopped for using gloves, and dropped at your doorstep by one of us using a mask and gloves. Payment must be payed for with deposit by E-Transfer.

Agreement seems in short supply these days- forget consensus. But, Google: Love Good Fats reviews, and Like many converted skeptics, you may be surprised. While their brand clearly targets a certain market, their reviews suggest universal enjoyment. With 20,000+ reviews to prove just shy of 5-star satisfaction, its plain to see why Love Good Fats have become a staple in the lives of all sorts ranging from athletes, dieters, diabetics, students, and Joes alike. For myself (alb...eit far from a shinning pillar of health) the mornings are often a rush to open up shop and do office work before things get busy. So I recently made the switch from a Cliff or Kind bar to an always tasty Love Good Fats Bar. I want something fast, that wont overwhelm my sweet tooth or require quite so much chewing as the traditional grainy breakfast bar. The fact it staves off hunger for so much longer and only has 2 grams of sugar is just a bonus. Curious, but not convinced? Ask Chris or Ember, to try your first bar for free! (Now offering 6 varieties, including 2 plant-based options)

Cozy up & represent Muskoka living, with a hoodie or T from your neighborhood general store. New styles added seasonally, and if we don’t have your size or colour on hand, be sure to let us know so we can have one ready for your next visit! This ordering season, we had Baysville's famous Murray the Moose on our mind. 3 moose-inspired designs later, we wonder: Have we gone overboard? We think not...

A day off spent on a drive, better acquainting with local sites and nature. A beautiful day indeed. You'll find some of these sights starring in our new website blog, coming this Spring! It will be a platform dedicated to the deep dive on local information, stories, and more. Any topic suggestions are welcomed and encouraged

With a seasonal economy, there are many families right here in Baysville struggling to get by in the Winter. Which is why we're so lucky to have the Winter Pantry, a group of friendly volunteers dedicated to feeding our neighbours most in need. So if you find your $Change$ building to out-of-control proportions, remember it can always make an impact on somebody's life! Theres also the dry and canned good collection bins located within our store and the LCBO. Thank you Winter Pantry and all those chipping in to feed the less fortunate!

Supporting Canada made business is easy when you’ve got such talented neighbours! Check out our selection of best-selling locally handcrafted coffee, candles, jewelry, art, decor, and more!
