Robbie’s Sausages & Friends

Robbie and his sausages have been getting a lot of much deserved attention lately. After winning BC’s Great Canadian Sausage Making Competiton in all five categories, Rob Bornais set off on an entrepreneurial journey that took him from farmers markets and producing at home to working and promoting others from his own kitchen and retail space in the heart of Walkerville.

It may be a tad difficult to find, a converted garage tucked behind a new-age metaphysical store, but once inside I was blown away by all the local goodies he stocks. Bornais shares his retail space, as well as his kitchen, with other small business owners, creating a powerful entrepreneurial symbiosis that translates into a convenient one-stop shop for us hungry locals.

Many of his collaborators were some of the first vendors at the Windsor Downtown Market, another one of my favourite attractions. I spoke with Sarah Barrette of The Cheese Bar who pops in with a sampling of her Southwestern Ontario cheeses every Sunday (vegan options too).

“… By working together we have more power presence to get our brands out there.” – Sarah Barrette, The Cheese Bar

After way too many samples, I can definitely say go for the Cow Cheddar,  a local favourite aged for 15 months – it’s sharp, flaky and creamy as a cheddar should be. I’m patiently awaiting the Pippa, a goat’s cheese that comes directly from the farm in early Spring.


The place isn’t big, about 400 square feet, half kitchen/half retail with just enough space for a selection of:

  • Pierogies by Little Foot Foods  (they have Bullseye Pizza pierogies… omg)
  • Kimchis, saurkrauts, fermented foods and free range eggs by The Holistic Guy
  • BBQ sauces, hot sauces and vegan burgers by Atmosphere Fine Foods
  • Dust and rubs by Black Magic
  • Whole bean whole roasted beans by Black Bench Coffee

Sarah explained their goal: “We’re all small businesses trying to cohesively grow and by working together we have way more of a presence and power to get our brands out there.”

Robbie’s Sausages places a huge emphasis on local, seasonal products and production. Follow his Facebook to stay up to date with new flavours and limited selections such as Jamaican Jerk, Poutine and Apple Butter and Sage. Website coming soon.

Freya is one of our favourite spots in Detroit and it is also featured in the latest issue of the BCL magazine ~ Who else has been? 🙋🏼‍♀️

We cook, you eat. A food menu? How old-fashioned. At Freya, a multi-course meal, consisting of several small plates is paired meticulously with a corresponding beverage. The only important decision you'll make is what to have from the 'music menu' passed from guest to guest throughout the evening🎶

Perfect for the, "I don't know what I feel like tonight, you choose", person in your life-- as long as you're into Moodyman.

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

2/5
We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!
