A little about us...
Born in 2022 from a love of local flavours and family traditions, SNickelFritz Kitchens is proudly rooted in the heart of Waterloo County. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a full-blown flavour movement—one butter tart at a time.
Our products are a love letter to the province we call home. Our rich butter tarts are made with butter and maple syrup. Our sauce line up includes, our one-of-a-kind Butter Tart Mustard and BBQ Sauce, Oktoberfest Mustard (an homage to Schneider’s), Millie’s Zucchini Relish & Millie’s Chili Sauce are like they come from Grandma’s kitchen. Every jar and package is made with care using real ingredients—sourced as locally as possible. Everything we make carries the warmth of tradition and a spark of creativity.
Our home base and commercial kitchen is at Cloverleaf Farms in New Hamburg, Ontario. You can also find our goods at independent stores across Waterloo Region—and growing in regions beyond! We’re fiercely proud of our roots and are passionate about supporting fellow small businesses in every bite we make.
From our kitchen to yours, we’re here to bring bold, nostalgic, and unforgettable flavours to your table.

Our name, 'SNickelFritz Kitchens" is inspired by a playful nickname my Great Uncle Herb liked to use. He had a sweet twinkle in his eye and a gentle laugh when he said it. He and my Aunt Lili lived in a beautiful old house in Preston that always smelled like fresh baking and perked coffee. Aunt Lili (pronounced Lie-la) always had something homemade ready for a snack. Both were local to Cambridge and both remain in my heart. My name is a tribute to them and the feeling of warmth and love bestowed by them… with a little spark of humour.
My twist? My first name is Sandy, last name is Nickel. I have been SNickel@ since email was born and was given that moniker by friends. I would not be able to focus on baking and business without my husband Adrian – he is my Fritz.
I couldn’t think of a more appropriate name for my Kitchen.
With much love,
- Sandy
