Welcome To Hensall
Hensall is a great quiet town to raise a family in. One of the best parts is its proximity to Lake Huron and Exeter for all your shopping needs.
Hensall is known at the White Bean Capital of Canada, dating all the way back to the 1800’s when traditional farming was the norm. When driving through Hensall you will notice the large grain bins at the processing facilities Sylvite and Hensall Co-op. This is home to modern technology that helps feeds countries all across the world! Thousands of tons of beans are processed annually and shipped globally.
Hensall has many job opportunities at these business as well as General Coach, Oke Woodsmith and other local businesses in and in surrounding towns like Clinton, Exeter, and Seaforth.
Hensall loves to host community events such as the Fireman’s Breakfast and the town wide yard sale.

Delicious Food In The Neighbourhood
Metzger’s butcher shop is my absolute favorite place to shop for meat. Their chicken breast is UNMATCHED. Just trust me! With soring grocery prices, you might as well support and shop local and know your getting a superior product! Can’t recommend enough!
Locally sourced ingredients. Find pizza, Shaw’s ice cream and some delicious smoked brisket and sausage sandwiches!
Plan an event with Pineridge BBQ for home cooking of smoked meat, sides and their secret sauces. I have personally tried their sauces and they are awesome!
