Next up, we'd like to recognize Arthur Cash & Carry.
Located in the heart of downtown Arthur, Arthur Cash & Carry is a beautiful home décor and gift shop filled with unique, high-quality pieces for your home or cottage. And when November arrives, the store transforms into a magical Christmas destination with an incredible selection of holiday décor and gifts.
This past November, we were honoured to be invited to participate in their Outdoor Christmas Market alongside several other amazing local vendors. It was especially meaningful for us because it was the very first market where we introduced our newest product—Bannister Family Orchard Cider.
My daughter and I spent the day handing out samples, and thanks to the incredible turnout, we were busy from start to finish. We met wonderful people from all over, made connections with customers who continue to come back for more, and had the opportunity to introduce so many people to our cider. It was an amazing experience and played a huge role in helping our new product gain recognition.
We're already looking forward to being back again this year!
If you're a small business just getting started, we highly recommend reaching out to Fran and becoming part of one of the many markets she hosts throughout the year. She does an incredible job supporting local businesses and creating welcoming events for the community.
And if you're simply looking for a special gift or beautiful décor for your home, a visit to Arthur Cash & Carry is a must. The quality and selection are outstanding, and you won't be disappointed.
Thank you, Arthur Cash & Carry, and especially Fran, for supporting local businesses and giving us the opportunity to share our orchard with the community. We truly appreciate it.

The first business we’d like to recognize is Shaelyn Miller Design.
When it came time to create our logo, we reached out to Shaelyn with a few ideas and trusted her creative vision. What she designed for us was more than just a logo—it was a meaningful representation of our family and our business.
The truck featured in our logo is Gordon Bannister’s classic 1968 Chevrolet pickup, a truck that Dale’s dad has owned and meticulously maintained for more than 35 years. Shaelyn thoughtfully incorporated this special piece of family history into a beautiful design alongside our apple logo. Knowing that a logo is something that lasts forever, she took great care in creating something that was both personal and timeless.
The moment Shaelyn presented the design, we knew it was exactly what we had envisioned.
Shaelyn is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and thoughtful in her work. Her impressive portfolio includes projects for the Royal Winter Fair, Clean Eating Magazine, and Live Oak International, just to name a few. She is also currently building our website, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
If you’re looking for a designer for your logo, branding, or website, we highly recommend Shaelyn Miller Design. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to bring ideas to life are truly exceptional.
Thank you, Shaelyn, for creating a logo that tells our story so beautifully. It is something we will cherish for years to come.

Last freezing cold Thursday we were invited to The Arthur agricultural society for AG awareness day, it was pleasure to speak with Grade 2 students about Bannister Family Orchard and all things apples and farming. It was such a fun and rewarding experience, and we loved sharing a little bit of farm life with the next generation! Arthur Agricultural Society
