Celebrating Canadian-Made: Why Shopping Local Matters

Why Shopping Local Matters: Supporting Canadian Small Businesses

Hey there! I wanted to take a moment to talk about something really important—why shopping local matters and how it makes such a big difference. When you choose to buy from small Canadian businesses like mine, you’re not just getting an amazing product—you’re supporting real people, families, and dreams.

At Fosters Fields, I pour my heart into creating luxury soaps and soy candles, all handmade in Ontario using natural ingredients. I do my best to be as eco-friendly as possible, using compostable and recyclable packaging because I truly believe we can all help make the world a better place, one small choice at a time.

Why Choose Canadian Small Businesses?

1. Quality Over Quantity
   When you buy handmade, you're getting something created with care. I make sure every luxury soap and candle I create is top-quality, far better than anything you'd find in a big-box store.

2. Supporting Women in Business
   Running a business while taking care of a family isn’t easy, but it’s something I’m passionate about. Shopping small means you're directly helping women like me build something meaningful while juggling daily life.

3. Keeping Money in Canada
   Every time you buy from a Canadian business, you're helping local families, artisans, and entrepreneurs thrive. That money stays in our economy and helps strengthen communities across the country.

4. Sustainable and Ethical Choices
   Big corporations focus on cutting costs, but I focus on making high quality, natural, eco-friendly products that are good for both you and the planet. It’s all about creating a product that you can feel good about using.

Finding Balance in Shopping Small

I do my best to shop small whenever I can because I believe in supporting other small businesses just like mine. That being said, there are times when I need to pick up things from big-box stores too—and that’s okay! It’s all about balance. The important thing is making thoughtful choices whenever possible and recognizing the impact of supporting Canadian small businesses.
