Testimonials

"We are really happy with our location. I have a feeling we will always be rural. I am more relaxed than I was at my previous job. You would think we would have more pressure, running our own business, making sure all employees have what they need, and pleasing all the customers, but when you are doing something you love it’s not work."

Don and Lorie HoganDon Hogan Carpentry

“We came here because this is Home and that’s Home with a capital ‘H’. I say that really intentionally. At the end of the day, in your heart of hearts, there is a place that is Home. That place in the world where you say ‘this is where I am meant to be’. This was the community we wanted to be a part of.”

Geordan SaundersOwner, The Napanee Beer Company

“I get goosebumps when I say it, but the people that come here, locals and tourists alike, are grateful. To have a business where people come in and they are grateful you are here, it makes you feel so incredible.”
