Specialties

Pinecroft has been a thriving business in Elgin County since 1948, supplying fine quality earthenware and stoneware pottery and unique Canadian gifts to its’ customers. The Pinecroft Gallery and Gift Shop and Green Frog Tearoom occupy an original log cabin built in 1934 and overlook an expansive pond which attracts a great variety of wildlife from the Blue Heron to Canadian Geese. The 54 acre pine forest setting is reminiscent of Northern Muskoka, an ideal setting for creative artists. Arthur Caverly had the vision in the 1920s to plant 85,000 pine seedlings and dredge a 2 ½ acre lake with a team of horses. This early conservation has given us today, the beautiful tranquility of Pinecroft. Pinecroft Pottery was started by Arthur Caverly’s daughter Selma and her husband Jimmie Clennell in 1948. It began as a small studio from which they wholesaled pottery to nearly 200 gift shops across Canada
