Our Fermented Beverages Workshop is getting a new date!

We’ve decided to reschedule our Fermented Beverages Workshop so we can give more folks a chance to join us!

We’ll be learning about kombucha, ginger bugs, and naturally fermented drinks, with plenty of hands-on learning and goodies to take home.

If you were hoping to come but couldn’t make the original date, this is your chance!

NEW DATE COMING SOON!

Keep an eye on The GOODS for the new date and registration details. Comment below if you're interested in signing up!

And if fermentation has been on your “I really want to learn that” list… this is your sign to come learn with us!

When the sunrise hits that fresh restock of local honey. This is from Crooked Creek Honey- who honestly could use just a little local love in this period of life. This month anything that sells in shop will just be going back to them. They are lovely people who are both going through some not fun medical things.

Regular
8 oz Bear - $7
1 # Jar - $10
1PT - $15
1QT - $25

Light Honey (has a touch of the sourwood)
1PT - $18
1QT - $28

Hustle with a side of sunrise.

I have been coming in close to 5 for a few mornings in a row now. Trying to get some things done with the least amount of distraction. (Ironically Ron shows up like 1.5 hrs after with the same sentiment - he's renovating his upstairs for more office spaces available to rent.)

Of course I am accomplishing things- checking things off the to do list, reading/researching and planning all of the things. BUT whew sometimes I feel like I just re-prioritized my To Do list and only added more to the list.

As MUCH as I hoped/thought we'd be open in the new space.... I know realistically it will be the new year...and it is in its own perfect timing. Honestly I am not ready- only because it means my time/our time in OMEGA will come to an end and that truly makes me a bit sad. I have truly and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. It is absolutely the most perfect place for me to launch this business.

Ron has given me such a unique opportunity to be introduced to the community, to attempt a completely new business idea, to invest into me as we shift gears in the new year (the print shop will be coming into the Co-Op). I am just sitting here grateful and thankful.

Also - don't worry- those glorious rays only hit the shelves for about 15 mins. But it makes the whole shop look so magical.

Welcome to The GOODS! We are a Community Cooperative & Bulk Refill Shop. We are creating a space for our community powered space for sustainable living, local food, practical and fun skills, creativity and connection.

What started as a bulk refillery had morphed into something bigger. A marketplace that people can somehow healthy foods in refill fashion, enjoy wholesome foods/drinks, take practical workshops, create and make things, support local producers and participate in our communities food and garden projects. The expanded model allows the community to be more than customers but contributors and participants in what we are building together!
