Description
The Peach Basket & Co. is a charming boutique located at 315 Front Street, Unit 1 & 2, Stratford, ON. The entrance is conveniently situated near the mall’s main parking lot.
The store is run by a mother-daughter duo, Dina Fine and Hayley Fine Diehl, who combine their passion for crafting with community-minded entrepreneurship.

A standout success story from within the boutique: Fantasy Forms, a vendor offering 3D-printed crafts. Their items sell so well that the artisan left their mechanic job to pursue the craft full-time
