So many independent shops have adapted their business models to feed their neighbors. These Local Heroes are supplying us with delicious pantry items and provisions. Some are even keeping us entertained whilst doing so. Our local shops and communities are more important than ever as all of our world’s have shrunk in the last month. Let’s all remember to continue to shop and support local once this crisis is over. In the meantime I’m honoring some of these Local Heroes that have caught my eye. Have a story you would like to share? Please pop into comments below.
