How Buying Local Meat Builds a Stronger Saskatchewan? For over a hundred years, our Hutterite family has rooted itself in the Saskatchewan soil. We know what it means to be committed to a place, and we understand that true success is always shared. When you choose to purchase your meat from Sunnydale, you aren’t just buying dinner; you are participating in a powerful economic cycle that strengthens every town and community across our province. In a world where big chains dominate, choosing local is an act of intentional community stewardship and the numbers prove just how vital that choice is. Approximately 98.9% of all employer businesses in Saskatchewan are classified as small businesses. The Backbone of Our Economy: Small Business in Saskatchewan The economy of Saskatchewan is built on the hard work of local entrepreneurs, producers, and family businesses. Here in the Prairies, small businesses are the undeniable foundation of our prosperity. Approximately 98.9% of all employer businesses in Saskatchewan are classified as small businesses. That is the highest percentage in all of Canada. When you realize that nearly every business in our province is a small, local entity, you understand that supporting local is not just a kind gesture; it is the direct way to support Saskatchewan’s entire economic identity and job market Possession her thoroughly remarkably terminated.

Old insipidity motionless continuing. The Local Multiplier Effect: Keeping Our Dollars at Home The single most powerful reason to choose a local producer like Sunnydale Meats is the quantifiable economic multiplier effect. When money is spent at a local business, it doesn’t immediately leave the province and go to a corporate headquarters far away; it stays right here, circulating through your community. For every $100 spent at a small business, approximately $68 remains and recirculates within the local economy.   That $68 doesn’t just sit still; it is used by our farm to: Pay the wages of our local staff. Purchase goods and services from other Saskatchewan suppliers (like machinery maintenance or specialized feed supplements). Invest in local infrastructure and services, ensuring the continued viability of our community. This continuous, localized cycle creates a compounding effect, generating more economic activity and funding local jobs, a stark contrast to money spent at large national chains, where significantly less is retained locally. https://vimeo.com/331514347 Beyond the Dollar: Community and Innovation The benefits of buying local extend far beyond mere dollars and cents. When you support a family farm like ours, you are also supporting the social and moral fabric of the community: Job Creation: Small businesses are the engine of new local jobs and opportunities, fostering innovation and diversity in the market. Personal Service: As a family operation, we are accountable directly to you. We take pride in offering a level of transparency and personal customer service that national chains simply cannot match. Philanthropy: Local businesses are known to contribute significantly more to the social fabric, donating an estimated 250% more to non-profits and community causes than larger, non-local businesses. Your purchase helps us, in turn, support the local schools and groups we partner with.    Reduced Environmental Impact: By sourcing your meat directly from a Saskatchewan farm, you are supporting a shorter supply chain, which often results in less transportation and a lower overall environmental footprint How to Be a Local Champion? The choice to buy local is powerful, but there are countless other ways you can act as a champion for Saskatchewan’s small businesses: Share the Love: Follow us on social media, share your favorite meals, and tell your friends about the high quality of our organic, grass-fed products. Word-of-mouth is the lifeblood of a family business. Choose Local First: Whenever possible, whether it’s for produce, repairs, or a holiday gift; actively choose local over national or online chains.
