There's no canal in Canal Winchester. At least not anymore--the Erie and Ohio canals once flowed in and out of this town, bringing with them trade and prosperity. But in the Information Age, the local economy no longer depends on canals and small farms but instead attracts more than a few small businesses. Commerce (well, e-commerce, at least) thrives here based on the ingenuity of local residents, though the overall business-friendly climate helps as well. Small business owners will find they're well-supported here, with resources such as the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio and the Small Business and Self-Employed group.
Therefore it is both the small-town sense of community--and a small-business work ethic--that have made Canal Winchester both happy and prosperous. Country Living readers recently voted this town the "Best Town to Live In" in the state of Ohio. What's behind its livability? Maybe it's the holidays: as hard as it works, this is a town that knows how to celebrate too. Each December locals come out for Christmas in the Village, a festival that features the area's best home-cooked comfort food and also its best church choirs to serenade the townspeople with seasonal hymns. Labor Day is another important day in the Canal Winchester life cycle, and events, such as cookouts and barbeques, dot the social calendar of Canal Winchester residents all summer long.
The very same article from Country Living also names local Schact's Farm Market as the best farm open to the public in the state of Ohio. Be sure to pay a visit to the farm for a chance to take home the very freshest produce from Fairfield County. Fairfield County, just outside the city, is home to many of the best produce and livestock farms in the state. These farms can only improve the quality of life for you, a Canal Winchester resident. Why settle for mass-produced groceries when you can enjoy food and wine lovingly grown and produced by the same men and women you work with, go to church with, and introduce your kids to? For another glimpse of local talent, visit the Slate Run Vineyard and Winery during its one of its open house events. This town will transform the way you feel about food.
It's clear how the readers of Country Living feel about the place-- but the most important question is: how will you feel about life as a Canal Winchester resident? Given all the evidence, we think you'll love it here in this idyllic Ohio small town. Here you'll be supported by the well-known hands of local businesses, and cheered by the Midwestern warmth of your new neighbors. Welcome home!
