With local businesses impacted by the recent lockdown, it’s more important than ever to support local. Here are three easy ways to do so this week.
1. Visit your local cafe
Buying your daily coffee at the local cafe is an easy way support local businesses, and if you’d rather drink instant at home you can also support local by buying milk brands like Norco. You can also treat yourself to the big breakfast, all in the name of supporting local.
2. Visit the local farmers market
Getting your fruit and veg from the local farmers market or fruit shop is an easy way to give money to local businesses without much effort, because everyone needs their fruit and veg. Buy some Stanthorpe Cheese from the local shop and then treat yourself to some bakery-fresh bread to go with it.
3. Buy from your local winery
While it’s totally possible to buy local wines elsewhere, going directly to the source is a worthwhile experience. Make a day out of it with your significant other, your friends, or even your mum. Try traditional favourites like Merlot, Shiraz and Chardonnay, or try alternative variety wines like petit verdot, gewurztraminer or durif.
