L O C A L S I P S & E AT S In Paris there are a plethora of locations to access fresh, locally made & sourced specialty shopping and right now, so many are open to deliver right to your door. I can immediately think of local apples from Brantview Farm in St. George, local produce & specialty items at Elberta Farm, our local butcher at Link Street Sausage in Wincey Mills, fresh local beef from Browndale Farm, Seafood from Jiggs n Reels, our local bakeries Paris Bakery, Cake & Crumb, Wicked 'Wiches & Pies and who doesn't love Cheesecake-on-the-Go for dessert. When we support local through food, cooking at home is a perfect way to also support local. They need us too! Our restaurants are adaptable to focus on take-out but they need us to build take-out into our week menu planning. Everyone's budget and palate desires are unique and aren't we lucky to
have so many options creating a diverse selection. From finedining such as edit Eats, Juniper Dining and Stillwater, to casual ambience of Grand Bayou and Paris Beer to fast casual delicious like Steve's Place and Arepa Love. All these restaurants are counting on us for some take-out so let's show them our local love of our eateries too. Our small town, the Prettiest Little Town in Canada is growing by leaps and bounds, this we know. It can be tempting to hop into a larger centre on the way home from work and grab groceries, visit specialty shops and order online for delivery. But think about that rock solid entrepreneur, grocer, butcher and baker who are busting to move because they love what they do and are just hoping you will remember they are still ready to serve you.
