I have great respect for what is needed to keep our earth’s ecosystem in balance to support human kind.
Whenever possible, I buy from local, independent, organic growers and producers. My business is the most powerful way for me to express my values, serve my community, and make a contribution to a healthier natural environment. I believe that we have all the tools we need to create a vibrant, prosperous and sustainable economy.
When I heard about the BALLE movement, I knew right away we needed one in Nova Scotia, and that I wanted to be a part of it. Well, in just one short year, we have gone from the seed of an idea to a network ready to take off and start making a difference. I am honoured to serve as the Founding Chair of BALLE Nova Scotia, and I hope you will join us!

What is BALLE?
BALLE stands for Business Alliance for Local Living Economies.
It is an international movement in which local, independently-owned businesses are working together to build sustainable and vibrant communities.
Why is BALLE the fastest growing business movement in North America?
Because the time for dynamic local economies is right now! We believe in the power of local independent businesses to transform communities, build local self-reliance, align commerce with the common good, and bring transparency, accountability, and a caring human face to the marketplace.

Hello! I am Lil MacPherson, the founder and co-owner of the Wooden Monkey Restaurant. I am a true Maritimer, born in Nova Scotia and the mother of two boys. The Wooden Monkey is the result of the growing deep concern I had about how our foods are being produced, and what our governments were allowing in the process.
