If it comes from an independent maker, grower, or producer, it’s going to be better.
That’s our entire philosophy. It’s how each of our 12 Oregon stores are oriented, too.
Oregon is home. Our heart is here – with people who have an idea, a knack, a recipe for making life around them happier, healthier, feel more cared for just by doing what they do. It takes real work to do that; honest, noble, even scary at times work. The least we can do, we believe, is spread their goodness as far as we can with folks who know what they want and wouldn’t have it any other way. Welcome to your people. Nice to have you here.
