❤️ We stand with you, Valley Graze.
In times like these, supporting local matters more than ever. Our community is strong because of the farmers, growers, small businesses and families who call the Nicola Valley home.
We’re thinking of everyone impacted by the fires and uncertainty, and we’re proud to stand alongside our local community. When you support local, you support your neighbours. ❤️
Stay safe, Merritt. We’re in this together.
❤️ Right now, supporting local matters more than ever.
With fires close to our doorsteps, there’s understandably a lot of worry and uncertainty. But while we’re looking out for one another, let’s also remember the families behind our local businesses.
The farmers who rely on market sales.
The fruit stands that need to sell their harvest to pay the bills.
The family run restaurants, cafés and shops that count on a busy summer to help carry them through the slower months.
When fires are burning and BC is on edge, tourism can come to a sudden halt and for small businesses, the impact can be huge.
If it is safe to do so, please keep supporting the communities around you. Stop at the fruit stand. Visit the farmers market. Grab a coffee. Order lunch. Shop at the little store. Share a local business’s post.
You don’t have to spend a lot to make a difference.
Behind so many small businesses is simply a family trying to make it work. ❤️
Stay safe, look out for your neighbours, and when you can support local. Our communities need each other right now.
