10 Canadian Brands We Found in Prince Edward County
INSIDE: Prince Edward County Series
Written By Rebecca Tate
From small-batch skincare to locally designed clothing and pantry staples, these County businesses deserve a spot on your radar. Part of By The North's INSIDE: Prince Edward County series, exploring the places, people, and businesses shaping one of Ontario's most loved destinations.
Prince Edward County has a way of making you want to bring a little piece of it home, and while the wine is an obvious choice (no complaints here), there's a whole lot more being made, designed, and dreamed up in this corner of Ontario.
Beyond the beaches, restaurants, and boutique hotels is a community of independent business owners creating some genuinely good stuff. The kind of things you discover in a little shop, immediately Google, and then tell your friends about.
So, as part of our INSIDE: Prince Edward County series, we're putting the spotlight on 10 Canadian brands with roots in The County.
Some have been around for years, and some others might be new to you, but as with everything featured on By The North, they are all worth knowing.

The County Is More Than a Destination
It's easy to visit Prince Edward County and fall in love with the scenery. The harder part is leaving without falling in love with at least a few of the businesses, too, which is exactly why we're sharing them.
At By The North, we believe discovering Canadian brands should be as much about the people and places behind them as the products themselves because when we know who's making something, where it comes from, and what goes into it, buying Canadian starts to feel a little more personal.
