If you’ve stopped by the Horton Farmers Market, you’ve seen the cheerful and inviting trailer set-up, complete with patio seating and flower centerpieces. A colourful spot to grab some delightful dog treats with equally delightful names. The face behind the booth is Rebecca, and despite being just seven months into the business, Fergielicious has become
a fixture at the Horton Farmers’ Market.

When you stumble upon Sippin’ Tea at a market, you might be drawn in by Paula’s warm smile and her neatly presented and carefully curated selection of teas.
Roughly six years ago, Brian Leverton of 2 Dogs Candle Co. purchased a candle for himself and his wife to enjoy at home. But after lighting the candle, it didn't burn properly; instead of burning out, it burnt right down the middle. Brian decided to take the candle to a local shop in St. Mary's (Village Craft & Candle) to find out why the candle burned improperly, where they explained the problem. "They put too small of a wick in it, so it couldn't create enough heat," Brian explained. The owners suggested that Brian and his wife take their candle making course to learn more, and after finishing the course they had some finished candles. "My daughter at the time was living in Yellow Knife so she took a few [candles] back there, and then she said 'Can you send me up some more?', and it just kind of grew from there."
Eight years ago, tucked away in a little storefront in Port Stanley, Carly of Turtle + Bird Co made her first ceramic pieces, unknowingly planting the roots of a new pottery small business. Initially selling houseplants and hammocks, Carly first started making homemade plant pots. Then, the pottery took over, becoming more popular than the houseplants, so she left her little storefront behind and started making pottery full time from her home studio in the Village of Sparta.
