Arlo, Central District
CommuniTea Kombucha

Jason, Central District
Cannabis Basics
Jason uses their handmade oils and lotions for soothing the body and even mixes them with other oils for additional benefits.
John, Columbia City
LaPierre Farms Honeycrisp apples
John goes for first-of-the-season Honeycrisp apples—they’re crisp and a sign that fall is here! While LaPierre’s crop is fleeting, we have more Honeycrisps on the way from other local farms.
