The Brockville Farmers' Market returned for its 193rd year this month, running every Thursday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. until September
Vendors say the push to support Canadian companies amid trade tensions with the United States has been felt positively by vendors.
Darren McGuin is the co-owner of Birdie Blocks, a bird feed business from Iroquois, Ont. He says he's had an easier time convincing clients to buy from his business over his American competitors.
'I see lots of that coming through,' McGuin said. 'People are supporting Canadian products and that's what we gotta do.'
Additionally, volunteers with the Brockville Rotary Club have been selling lawn signs that read 'Proudly Canadian' and 'Canada Proud' in an initiative leading up to Canada Day.
More details to come.
