Hey Lovely!
I’m Jacinda Lee – the creator of Living Local Lee and your go-to gal for all things local.
A Little about me
I grew up on a 30-acre farm just outside of Guelph, became an equestrian at 4 and spent my entire childhood on horseback.
Quick blink and I flew the coop to spend time getting an education, start a career in health care, marry my best friend and build our first home from the ground up.
I now live on a little slice of land in the Niagara region with my local business owner husband, wildflower little mini me and our handsome doberman. Oh, and did I mention our chickens?
Day to day you can usually find me in the garden, at the coop, sipping coffee at a local market or strolling through the best parts of town.
My Mission
What fuels me, besides a good cup of coffee, is my passion for entrepreneurial spirits (I guess that’s why I married one). I believe that local businesses are the heart of every town and through convenience, we’ve lost a sense of community. This little home on the internet was created to shine the brightest light on local businesses and to inspire you to be a tourist in your own city!

What You’ll Find Here
All things local – from the best handmade products to the best tasting wine and where to sip it. Niagara is currently home but I do occasionally venture out past the escarpment so you’ll also get a taste of local love in new cities.
Sprinkle in a little day to day homestead living (think gardening, raising chickens and farm to table recipes) and you’ll be ready to live a life you love, local.
