Welcome to Amherst Island

Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.

The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life  declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.

This page is offered and maintained by the Amherst Island Community Alliance.

Rossland Gardens heritage Granny Smith apples. They are incredibly delicious, and I’m going to process them like the tomatoes; slow roasted applewood smoked with spices and Amherst Island honey. #heritagestyle #slowfood #homesteadlife #organicpreserves #canningseason #amherstisland #amherstislandmade ...

Queen Cedar

She looks o`r her domain.

The Kingdom of Coo.

"I`m kind`a a big deal"

The farmer servants to provide the meals.

Entertain me now, thou flock of sheep.

The woofy floofs to guard the keep.

Willow sighs and rolls her eyes.

"Her big, red ass attracts biting flies".

The Queen shall say no more on this day of days.

Her servants have just brought more hay.
