Pinecroft has been a thriving business in Elgin County since 1948, supplying fine quality earthenware and stoneware pottery and unique Canadian gifts to it's customers. The Pinecroft showroom 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 1920's to plant 85,000 pine seedlings and to dredge a 2-1/2 acre lake with teams 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. Brenda (Caverly) Smith, Arthur's granddaughter, came to Pinecroft in 1972 to carry on a family tradition. In 1982 Brenda and her husband Paul, moved the 1850 "Poustie" house from Aylmer to Pinecroft and began restoring it. They now live there with their three children.
