Coming this summer: Frontenac News Makers and Growers Guide

May 26, 2021

While it has been quiet, really quiet, on the surface, lots has been happening in our local communities over the last year and a half. New people have moved in, and many have changed the way they work. Businesses have had to change they way they sell their wares.

Our communities are small, resilient and inter-connected, and those who grow our food and make unique products use various means, from the most basic sales technique, word of mouth, to social media platforms, to connect with their customer.

Sometimes it seems like it is easier to find products from around the world than those that are made across the street.

That’s where the Frontenac News Makers and Growers Guide comes in.

We are gathering information from all the food and beverage producers, restaurants, chip huts and stores, as well as artisans and small manufacturers, to present in the print and digital versions of the Frontenac News Makers and Growers Guide – 2021.

The Guide is open to businesses that sell in our communities in Frontenac County, Addington Highlands and beyond.

People are interested in buying local, but they don’t always know what is available or how to find it.

Sarah Hannon, digital and print sale rep for the Frontenac News, is a local food producer as well, with the Rise Farm in Godfrey that she runs with Rob Winney.

With her experience with the News, on Social Media, and in the producer community, she is ready to work with producers to tailor their message for consumers in our region.

Interested in participating in the Makers and Growers Guide for your business. Listings start at $40. Ad locations are available as well.
