Shop Small

When you buy from a local independently owned business you strengthen your local economy, support jobs in your community, and help support your neighbors and friends, rather than a nationally owned business where you're money may well benefit those who don't even live in your state or country.

Buying locally and shopping small also helps to reduce the environmental impact of our purchases.  The items you purchase from a local retailer have most likely traveled far less miles than similar products at a national chain store.

If you're planning to shop locally this weekend in preparation for the holiday season, I hope you'll check out one of the small business' where Woof Bark – Maine Birch Bark Creations are sold on this “Small Business Saturday.”
