Provisions Food Company

Provisions Food Company, creators of handmade, all natural foodstuffs, is an excited team of makers led by Lori Elstone. Now hailing from Niagara, Lori was raised in Harrow, Ontario, an area also known for its rich agricultural traditions. Like many teenagers who grew up in Southern Ontario, Lori picked orchard tender fruits in season which established an appreciation for local produce.

A burgeoning wine industry has spawned many award winning restaurants with acclaimed chefs. But what about the wineries that do not have their own restaurants? Lori was inspired to provide accompanying foodstuffs to supplement all that Niagara wines have to offer. Savoury and sweet shortbreads to provide a toothsome pairing for big reds and refreshing whites, condiments to enhance cheese pairings to wines and confections to top off any picnic or road trip.

The Provisions team is passionate about bringing people together through food and sharing their love of delicious handmade foodstuffs.

Kiriki Press

A printmaking graduate from the Ontario College of Art and Design, Michelle Galletta started Kiriki Press after she wanted to make her niece an embroidered doll but couldn’t find a pattern anywhere.

“I couldn’t afford to buy her anything, but I hoped to make up for it with my time. I decided to learn how to embroider so I could make her a set of three owl dolls to play with. It was difficult to find contemporary embroidery patterns that weren’t overly simplistic, let alone embroidered doll patterns, so I ended up designing my own. As I was making Madeleine’s owls, I became fascinated with embroidery: the vibrant colours, the countless variety of stitches, the calming effect it had on me…

…after several years of improving my embroidery skills – and a ton of design work – Kiriki Press was born. It was developed in the hopes of giving others the chance to make something precious with their own hands.”

Kiriki Press was launched in December 2012 with seven patterns, and the collection has grown over the years and is currently expanding to include a range of other DIY products. Michelle was chosen as a Featured Seller on Etsy, and has been a contributor for Mollie Makes books and magazine. The company has been featured in Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Bust Magazine, Homespun, as well as many other print publications and craft blogs.

Honey & Glow

Honey & Glow is an all natural, independent, hand-made skin care company that started with a simple passion for the all natural. Originally these products were made just for myself and my problematic, pimply skin! After years of making these lotions and potions for friends and family members, I eventually came to realize that there were a whole lot of other people out there just like us; people who value a quality product made using all natural, raw ingredients.

Not only do our customers love that Honey & Glow provides a natural alternative to an everyday product, but they love that they are made in Hamilton, Ontario, using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible!

At Honey & Glow, our goal is to create products that are hand-crafted, all natural, and sustainable. We welcome new relationships with local suppliers, and look forward to making connections with local communities!
