“We were into our new house yesterday! What a wonderful surprise to see the welcome gift basket!! We have been so impressed all along with Doug Tarry homes, from the people (you!), the quality of the house, the design, the materials, the basement, the air and temperature of the house, everything!! Liam used to build houses and he has been blown away by everything we’ve seen and experienced with Doug Tarry homes. He’s not easily impressed either and has a keen critical eye and he is over the top happy with everything, as am I. So a big thank you Michele, for everything. You’ve been so patient with us right from the beginning, when we first showed up over a year ago when we first started looking at the area in St Thomas. ”

At Doug Tarry, you know we love helping in and around our county communities –this also includes our friendly non-human communities too! Last July while on site, Mike spotted a bird’s nest in one of our basements of a home under construction. To our surprise there were 3 newborns in the nest. Under Abe’s kind supervision for the next few weeks, the hatchlings grew up safe and sound until their departure on July 27th!
Also last month, Suzie had the pleasure of meeting Jason and a few students from our local St. Thomas Christian School. Doug Tarry Homes is delighted to donate to various activities they are doing at the school to help their students! Currently, the school is planning for a Performance Room where students can learn through music and arts. We’re looking forward to the new school year to see this come to fruition!
For our final community update, we want to thank the residents of Elgin County! With your help, and the support of Doug Tarry Homes, over $32,000 was raised to help benefit Animal Aide of St. Thomas-Elgin, Pearce Williams Summer Camp & Retreat Facility, STEAM Education Centre, and The Nameless. We are proud to support this initiative and deeply thank everyone involved!
When you spend your hard-earned money in the community, the impact is far reaching. Doug Tarry believes that supporting local and small businesses helps to build a healthy community, and there are plenty of businesses to celebrate in St Thomas and surrounding area! Each month, we feature a different small business that would love to see your support. Shop Local – Support Local!

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped

2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed

2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
3. Transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to the pot, and mix in any remaining stock to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
