Supports the local economy
Since this is a family business, 100% of the work is done by the owners who are local. We purchase local produce and whenever possible offer their own fresh produce from their garden and greenhouse and that of neighbor gardeners. We buy local fresh eggs and milk too, and buy fish from the local fish market. We also gather wild herbs and berries for teas and jam.
