Here at The Place, we've always believed in the power of community. And for us, community means supporting the hardworking farmers, producers, and artisans right here in our own backyard. That's why, since the day we opened our doors, we've made a commitment to source our ingredients locally whenever possible, prioritizing products from Ontario and across Canada.

You might have heard the recent news about the US increasing tariffs on Canadian goods. It's understandable that this has caused concern and even a little frustration for many Canadians. We feel it too. These kinds of trade disputes remind us just how important it is to support our local economy and ensure its resilience.

At The Place, this isn't just a business decision; it's a matter of principle. We believe in the quality and freshness of Canadian-grown ingredients. We believe in supporting our neighbors and keeping our hard-earned dollars circulating within our own community. And we believe that by working together, we can create a stronger, more vibrant food system for everyone.

When you bite into one of our freshly cakes, you're tasting the sweet goodness of Ontario strawberries, the richness of Canadian butter, and the wholesomeness of flour milled from locally grown wheat. 

We know that choosing local isn't always the easiest or cheapest option. But we believe it's the right option. It's the right choice for our environment, as it reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. It's the right choice for our local farmers and producers, who are the backbone of our food system. And it's the right choice for our customers, who deserve the freshest, highest-quality ingredients in every bite.

In times like these, it's more important than ever to stand together and support one another. When you choose to shop at The Place, you're not just getting delicious baked goods; you're also making a conscious decision to support the Canadian economy and the hardworking people who make it thrive.

We're proud to be a part of this community, and we're grateful for your continued support. Let's continue to bake a brighter future together, one delicious, locally-sourced treat at a time!
