We hear it all the time how important it is our to local economy for us to support local and small businesses. Prairie Soap Shack wouldn't exist without your support, so we appreciate you very much!! Here's some more reasons why we need to support not just local, but Canadian brands too.
- It keeps money in our communities, and creates jobs for local employment.
- You get unique, locally made and one-a-kind products. Ahem... like our Crocus soap in past spring seasons.
- We offer great customer service, but also help create a stronger community of like-minded people.
- We are able to have sustainable practices with our ingredients and help reduce our carbon footprint.
- We can be super creative and innovative.
I could go on and on... but now more than ever, it's important we really consider these points when deciding which businesses to support.
Some Canadian Brand that I support:
West Coast Seeds- this amazing seed business is in perfect alignment with our brand. Not only do we use their seeds to grow many of our ingredients to turn into our products, but we also stand behind their practices and their amazing community of growers. I am a brand ambassador for their company and you can order your seeds through our link here.
Green Experience- this BC-based business makes metal raised garden beds in different shapes and colours. I have the 17" tall raised garden bed 9 in 1, in olive green, and am really excited to add it to my permaculture-style garden this spring! I am also an affiliate for this company and you can order yours online here.
Then a few others that I have met along the way that I really connected with are:
Wheat and Wildflower (children's clothing) based in Manitoba. Find her here.
Rudie Jo Mercantile (wholesome products & home decor) based in Ontario. Find them here.
Salted (caramels) based in my hometown in Alberta, you can find them here.
Lumberjill Apparel based in Alberta. Shop here.
Wild Hive Apiary (beeswax candles and honey) based in Alberta.
I could go on and on... the point is, there's lots of beautifully made products local to us- and all owned by such wonderful and kind women.
Our small town Boutiques and shops that support local. I am honoured to have these stockist locations carry our products, along with many other local brands.
