The Folk

 



The Folk @thefolkca is an apparel/lifestyle brand that is based out of… yep, you guessed it Norfolk County!


Started in May 2020, the beginning of the pandemic, as many businesses were. The folk has three founders - Eric, Ashley and Drew.


Norfolk County has often been referred to as ‘the Folk’ by many of its residents. Eric would often refer to it as ‘the Folk’ too when heading home from school after term. He had created merch items previously and thought it was the coolest thing when he would see other people walking around sporting his designs. Eventually, Ashley and Drew came to him with the idea of starting a clothing brand and they all thought it was a perfect fit!


The residents of Norfolk County are often very proud of where they are from and having a brand that represents their hometown area is a concept that people love to jump on.


The Folk has a generic main line that has “The Folk” branded apparel, but their lineup doesn’t stop there. In addition they have other line ups including BOATINFOLK, PADDLEFOLK, LAKEFOLK, COTTAGEFOLK, FISHINFOLK, FARMINFOLK, CAMPINFOLK, HUNTINFOLK, BEACHFOLK, HOCKEYFOLK, SPOKEFOLK, FAIRFOLK, and EATDRINKLOVELOCAL. As well as Limited Edition RODEOFOLK, WINEFOLK, BEERFOLK, SLEDFOLK and FIREFOLK.

They had sported many other ‘FOLK’s’ in the past and I am sure they will come up with more.


The Folk has always been a small business supporter and a portion of their sales have always gone to purchasing local business gift cards that they traditionally give away via their social media account. When you make a purchase from The Folk, they encourage you to nominate a business that you would like to see supported. This is their way of saying thank you for helping support “The Folk”.


Over the past few years of business, The Folk has had some proud accomplishments. They have been featured on CTV news, as well as raised a whole lot of money for local organizations and businesses of Norfolk County!

Ultimate Land Care: A Journey of Growth, Dedication, and Community

Image
  In the scenic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Ultimate Land Care has become a trusted name in residential and commercial lawn and landscaping services. This thriving business, which also provides snow removal during the harsh Canadian winters, was born from a young dream and has blossomed into a full-fledged operation, helping people enhance their outdoor spaces year-round. Devin White, the proud owner of Ultimate Land Care, has spent nearly a decade honing his craft, and his story is one of perseverance, passion, and community. The journey to launching Ultimate Land Care began when Devin was just 16 years old. In search of extra cash for outings and video games, he posted ads online offering lawn cutting services. With no car and just a push mower, trimmer, and broom in hand, Devin relied on his parents and grandparents to help transport him to local jobs. It wasn’t long before those small residential lawn jobs started turning into a steady stream of clients, even though D...

Hydrogreen Irrigation Inc.

  Hydrogreen Irrigation Inc. was started back in 2008 by Brandon Happeney. They offer irrigation services for residential, commercial and sports fields. They are located in and around Barrie, Ontario, but travel into the GTA for jobs as well. Brandon and a friend started their irrigation business when they were eighteen/nineteen on the side while they were working for another irrigation business. They were using the equipment from their full-time job, but were also compensating their boss completely for the use of equipment. This may have lasted 2 months, and their boss at the time approached them saying that they were basically competition now, and that he would have to fire them. With only a little in each of their bank accounts at the time they put it together and bought a small truck and trailer. They had some tupperware containers on the trailer that held all of their supplies and wondered why clients ever went with them in the first place based on how the business presented i...
