Health coach Gudula Bauer was giving tips to visitors on how to live a healthier life. She said being a woman hasn’t affec- ted her business. However, as the wife of a dairy farmer, it was difficult to get salesmen to talk to her. “It’s all in the attitude,” she said. “However, in the dairy business, the salesmen didn’t want to talk tome because I ama woman. This is more a female-based business. 90% of my clients are female. Your power is in building your business, not what
others’ opinions are.” Bauer is at the Van- kleek Hill market each Saturday, and offers workshops in raw treats, fermenting, food storage and more. Other local business owners like Tara McWhirter from Garden Path Homemade soaps, and Rebecca Bradley from the Pink Bow Tie, both in Vankleek Hill, were on site to offer their wares and chat with visitors. The event was once again a great success.
