B & B swaps out orange juice for local apple cider amid tariffs
Carol Ann McDevitt, who owns the Roaring 20s Bed and Breakfast, about 40 kilometres west of Fredericton, is putting apple cider on the menu in place of imported U.S orange juice. And it’s not because of the cost.
Businesses in New Brunswick are already looking at ways to buy more Canadian products.
Carol Ann McDevitt, who runs the Roaring 20s bed and breakfast in Lower Queensbury, about 40 kilometres west of Fredericton, said she is making the switch to as many Canadian — and specifically New Brunswick — products as possible.
Running a rural B & B, she said she has always tried to go to her neighbours as much as possible for goods such as eggs, and honey.
But the talk of tariffs has inspired her to look closer into what other products she uses, how many come from the United States, and possible Canadian alternatives.
