Editor’s note:
These interviews were recorded during the 2020 lockdowns, when many local services were temporarily closed. We’re keeping them here because the tips our guests shared are still helpful, and we love spotlighting great local businesses we’ve worked with over the years.
Heather of Envy Grooms is a local groomer who sat down with us during the 2020 lockdowns to share practical tips for caring for dogs at home when professional grooming wasn’t immediately available.
In case your dog is running out of patience ahead of his grooming appointment, or you would just like to know what to do when life gets too busy and you need to take care of things at home temporarily – Heather kindly offered a few pointers that will tide you over while you wait.
(We also had a guest appearance by Tyson’s very own fur-baby, Harvey. He really is the cutest.)
You can reach Heather at Envy Grooms at 905-519-3689.
Lococo Wellness Clinic
We had the pleasure of speaking with two wonderful practitioners from Lococo Wellness Clinic and Still Dynamics, who shared thoughtful insights on supporting overall health and immune function.
In this short conversation, Dr. Jennifer Lococo and Shannon Gregory discuss immune stress, cortisol, and Lyme disease, and how these factors can intersect during periods of prolonged physical or emotional strain.

Farmer Jack’s
We had the chance to sit down with Terry, owner of Farmer Jack’s Market, for a conversation that left us both inspired and hungry.
If you haven’t heard of Farmer Jack’s, you’re in for a treat. Terry is one of the hardest-working people we’ve met, with a genuine commitment to making healthy food options accessible to the community. In this short video, he talks about the ways he supports families and individuals, and the values that guide how he runs his business.
Fair warning: you may want snacks before this video is over.
These interviews are part of a small collection we created to highlight local businesses and the people behind them. Our communities in Hamilton and Burlington are full of hardworking, generous, and creative individuals, and we’ve always believed those stories deserve to be shared.
We’re keeping these conversations here as a snapshot of local resilience and community spirit, and as a reminder of the small businesses that help make this area such a great place to live.
