I'm all in on the #ShopLocal movement, so I'm going to share links to shops that are in or have links to central Ohio. Here's a cool one that takes custom orders so that you can get something just for you!

Checked out the bookstore in the Soo today before heading to the farmer's market. Going to start this tonight. Should be some good local reading. It took me a long time to pick just one book.

One of the many reasons to care about pollinators. Local honey.

There's nothing like local, raw, unfiltered honey.
*This is not a paid endorsement*

We've had this jar for a while and I only just started putting it in my tea. Hard to believe the taste difference. Yummy! 😋

At the bottom is the ingredients list, Pure Honey, and the email address ruddlebees@gmail.com and 8 ounces.

I crushed one of my poles on Sunday's hike (fell on it and bent one element of a telescope pole). Went to my local sports equipment shop and got it replaced immediately for almost free.

But he also told the story of how the local Mac nut company stay processing nuts but they aren't buying local Mac nuts. THEY ARE SHIPPING THEM IN FROM CHEAPER (exploitable) PLACES. Fuck exploitation, fuck industrial food systems and absolutely and forever fuck capitalism.
But definitely bless this 89 yr old mac nut farmer and his 20,000 children.

Unpopular opinion: Pizza from a pizza chain/franchise is basic on its best day. Mom and pop pizza shops always make pizzas of superior quality. Hearing way too much praise for chain pizzas that basically only do gimmicks. People need to get out of their comfort zone.

Also, a general reminder for all those at-home baristas: support your local roasters and get your beans from them. I’m currently frequenting Foundation Coffee in Annandale, VA

https://www.foundation-coffee.com/

They have excellent coffee beans and serve delicious drinks. Check them out if you’re around!

Please support your local small businesses.

Last week our favourite local cheese/sauce/coffee shop closed, and on Friday our wonderful refill shop is closing.

Don't automatically write them off as expensive without even going in. A lot of things in the refill shop were much cheaper, especially as you can only buy what you need.

We are officially six weeks from May 1st, here in SE Wisconsin. That means 8 weeks to last frost.

I am absolutely thrilled to have started my plants as early as I did. It gives me time to get them bigger and stronger, as well as do a second sowing of anything that does not do well, or anything I want a second plant/second planting on.

This weeks goals are to get my 4-6 week seeds planted, and get some of my cold hardy plants outside.

On top of that, I have another raised bed to build (8x4x1), trellises need to be moved and/or placed, the ground needs to be mulched, and I need to finish weeding what I can.

Planting/garden/farm season is about to be in FULL SWING and I couldn't be more excited.

If you have to walk a kilometre through a blizzard to go to the bank, you get to stop at the fabric store. That’s the rule.

I appreciate that it was buzzing with older creative ladies who encouraged me to take the afternoon off to sew.

Great quilt by the door!

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and communities. Shopping small helps to support local entrepreneurs, create jobs, and keep money in the local economy. When you buy from small businesses, you are investing in your community and helping to create a vibrant and diverse marketplace.

I went looking for a particular book today for my research. I checked the library first. Nope. Not there. Then I looked online to see if any shops had it. Amazon had it for about $130. It’s a $20 book. A couple of small shops had it for the list price, but shipping was about $30. I was about to give up when I thought to check a local store: Words Worth Books. They were able to special order it in for me at list price. Thanks, Words Worth. You’re a great shop. #BookStore #ShopLocal #books

Sadly it's not all easy reading, and some bookshops are asking for help.

#ShopLocal #Groceries

I want to give a shout-out to independent grocery stores.

This morning I walked over to Vincenzo’s, a Waterloo shop known for its high quality and premium foods. It also stocks food staples and I knew it could pick up milk and bread there. And I found some herbs and spices that I hadn’t seen at a “regular” grocery store. For one of them, the front-line staff whom I asked about it (after failing to find it myself) went out of their way to find it.

From 30+ years of experience, I recommend whatever fruit the folks at #Sosios think is tastiest, the garlic-pepper smoked salmon from #PureFoodFish, the lemon-poppyseed muffin with the crunchy top at #CinnamonWorks, and if you’re willing to walk a couple of blocks *any* beer from #CloudburstBrewing (Happy Little Clouds is my fave)

Dawson Street has become overrun with UK chains so it was incredibly sound of Irish company ‘Sprout and Co’ to offer up the front of their shop rent free to an #irish start up.
Two brilliant young women have gone in to set up Fable Bakery. They’ve worked really hard. Their cakes are amazing. Pop in if in the area. I believe the #coffee is good too:). #supportlocal #shoplocal
