For 2021, the Municipality of Franklin aims to put in place initiatives to encourage buying local. To this end, a logo has been created in order to quickly and easily recognize the products from here, available in the shops of the territory.

The products come mainly from the Municipality of Franklin, but it is also possible to find products from companies in the Haut-Saint-Laurent region. So when the consumer walks into a store in Franklin, all they have to do is look for the logo to find and experience a locally made product and thus encourage our producers and our businesses.
Consumers will be pleasantly surprised by the variety of products offered; ciders, beers, wines, sausages, cold cuts, breads, pastries, maple products, lavender products, alpaca fiber products, bouquet of flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.
«The Municipality of Franklin is proud of the agri-tourism offer in its territory and wishes to play an important role in the promotion of its attractions which welcome a large number of visitors each year and which identify with our beautiful region, confirms Mr. Douglas Brooks», Mayor of Franklin. At the same time, the Municipality of Franklin is evaluating the possibility of establishing a tourist information office in its territory and is working on the development of a web strategy to promote businesses in the region.
