Located in the heart of downtown Kingston, The Kingston Collective sells locally-made artisan goods of all sorts. They also put on awesome workshops like how to carve your own wooden spoon (yeah, that's happening April 11th)! Check 'em out, because, as they say, ''friends don't let friends shop at chain stores''.

The maple syrup season has begun! Make sure to support your local maple producers in the next few weeks as the temperature rises! Remember, maple syrup is a natural and nutrient-filled sugar and its production promotes and sustains our much needed and fleeting forest ecology!

Many of us already love Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. in Vankleek Hill, Ontario for their awesome beers, but what makes this business that much better is their outstanding environmental practices and business ethics! Beau's uses 100% certified organic ingredients which are sourced as locally as possible, they run on 100% green energy and are increasing their use of green-fueled delivery trucks, they use recycled paper in all of their packaging and manage their wastes responsibly! They have also donated over half a million dollars to local charities through the years by hosting events like Beau's Oktoberfest! OH YEAH!

Welcome to lokuly!

We are currently hard at work creating a new website for discovering locally made and produced goods! Here, makers and producers of all sorts will be able to post their products for free so that everyone everywhere can find them!

With this project we hope to encourage a higher level of support for our local artisans, craftsmen, farmers, and other makers to promote sustainability within our communities! We will start in Ottawa and the surrounding areas, and with your help we will spread across Canada!

We will launch the full website as soon as the interest in the project is sufficient enough to ensure a strong and impressive launch! In the meantime we will feature stories about local makers on social media so please, LIKE our page! If you would like to post on lokuly or be featured on our blog, please sign up on lokuly.com!

Thanks!
