Shopping Local On Alberta Chamber Market

I don’t know about you, but one thing I’m focusing on now more than ever is supporting local where and when I can.

From eating at neighborhood restaurants to buying gifts handcrafted by local artisans and purchasing homegrown food, there’s so many ways to support those in our community who are doing incredible work and creating quality products.

What Is Alberta Chamber Market?

Alberta Chamber Market is essentially the Amazon or Etsy of Alberta.

It’s the largest online marketplace of small vendors from every corner of the province, all in one place.

So whether you’re hoping to find artisanal kitchenware from Camrose, meditation coaching in Hinton or hand-crafted jewellery from Lethbridge, Alberta Chamber Market can help you find exactly what you’re looking for (as well as products and services you didn’t know you were looking for)!

My Package from Alberta Chamber Market

This week I was so pleased to receive a package containing goodies from some of Alberta Chamber Market’s talented vendors.
Let’s take a peek:

JRRR BBQ Sauce

Aaron is so excited to make some pulled pork with this JRRR BBQ Wild Rose BBQ Sauce, made in High River.

Alberta Wood Plaque

Handcrafted in oak, mahogany, maple or cherry wood, this Camrose-made plaque will be perfect for my father-in-law’s home in the mountains.

Honey Comb

If you haven’t tried honey comb before (or even if you have!), you’re in for a treat. This Bittern Lake Honey Farm raw honey comb is fresh from the hive.

I enjoy eating it right off the spoon, serving it on toast or using it as a delicious cocktail garnish.

Beans from Dockside Coffee & Micro-Roastery Ltd.

I ripped right into these Dockside Coffee beans the day they arrived! Honey-processed from the Tudela Castelhana Estate in Brazil, these beans have a sweet, smooth and velvety body.
