New Movers and Community Guide Best Connection For Finding THE Local Go-To Shops How many times have we traveled round and round searching for the perfect restaurant, shop, or provider?...Knowing they are there if only we could find them! Needless to say, I was delighted to come across this one, the New Movers and Community Guide! It promises to be the hub to connect both new residents and long time community members with local businesses. Why Buy Local? The latest Small Business Pulse Survey Data Release, of November 2020, emphasized for us the impact many of our local shops have taken with the Coronavirus pandemic. When we consider it, how many of our favorite must- stop shops are actually local. Locally owned chocolate shops, bakeries, fresh fruit stands or pet stores. What does it mean to Shop "Local"? Personally, I have heard news stories and other reports about shopping or buying local, and wondered about it. The answer can depend on whether one considers "Local" to be within their city block, within their city, or within their county. Yes, I will sometimes avoid shopping locally because it often comes with a higher price. When we are shopping from locally grown food, produce, and manufactured goods, they do often come with a higher price tag. That higher price does come with benefits: better quality and knowing where it comes from/accountability. Share some "Love" with them, shop local, and PLEASE be sure and let them know they were found in the New Movers and Community Guide!
