For us, staying local means:

• running our business with the same values we live by in our personal lives;
• having our business contribute to the health and well-being of our community, its natural environment and the people who live here;
• celebrating and protecting the resources and attributes that make this region special;
• promoting the creativity and productivity, of our region's artisans, businesses, producers and individuals.

Why?

• Because we believe in thinking globally and acting locally.
• Because we believe that the path to a prosperous and sustainable future for everyone, is to invest in local communities and economies.
• Because buying local is good for people and for the planet.
