Residents across Hastings and Prince Edward County now have expanded access to locally made and locally grown products through a new delivery initiative designed to support regional farmers, makers, and small businesses.
The model, operated through Richter’s Market Co, connects households with goods produced close to home while helping local vendors reach a broader customer base.
By reducing barriers to market access and making local purchasing more convenient, the initiative supports both community economic development and stronger connections between residents and regional producers.
This will improve access to local food and locally made products, create additional sales opportunities for regional farmers, artisans, and small businesses, help strengthen the local economy by keeping more spending within the region, reduce distribution barriers for smaller producers and give residents a more convenient way to support local.
“We see this as a community-first model,” said Jordon Richter. “It’s about helping local producers get their products into more homes and making it easier for residents to support businesses in their own region.”
The initiative reflects growing interest in more resilient local supply chains and stronger support for independent producers across the Quinte area.
