Buying Local in the Waterloo Region!
I am on a quest to change my food buying habits and switch to locally grown goods as much as possible. I have been on this gradual quest for the last few years but have decided recently to kick my efforts up a few notches. A big part of my initiative will be to increase awareness about all of the great locally-owned businesses that are available in the Waterloo Region. I hope that I will be able to motivate many of our readers to change their buying habits and support local businesses. If you know of any local businesses that should appear on our website, send me an email and I will do my best to review and write about them
In the past few weeks I have been touring our region and visiting a few local grocery/specialty food stores. A few of the stores that I visit regularly are:
* Brady’s Meat & Deli
* City Cafe Bakery
* St. Jacobs Farmer’s Market
* Hilltop Acres Poultry (St. Jacob’s Market)
Over the next few days I will write about each business and provide a brief summary about what they do, what their know for and how you can find them.
I hope that my posts on buying local will motivate you to start buying local!
