Local
Beyond our brand portfolio (listed below), there are many other brands that my family supports with our dollars directly. The most important category is local small business. Luckily chain/franchise businesses are not allowed in our valley so local business is strong. These are the local shops in our community, the San Lorenzo Valley, that we support avidly:
- Mountain Farm + Feed - Ben Lomond, CA
- Boulder Creek Pharmacy - Boulder Creek, CA
- Wild Roots + Johnnie’s - Boulder Creek, CA
