Slowly But Surely

We are drawing closer to actually being able to open. Whew! Our storefront is beautiful, missing only the window lettering. We have the front nearly complete, if you want to peek through the windows. Tomorrow we have some very big local inspections coming up. Should that go well, we have only to receive our coolers and be inspected by the state. Then, we will be off and running with our By Invitation Only Days!

Today we found a couple of old glass cabinet panels framed in wood at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. We're thinking, nifty picture frame and recycling at the same time. Got any old wood sash windows? Other funky ways to hang our stuff? You would earn yourself a VIP pass to all our free tastings. We're just saying . . .

We would like to send a very big thank you out to Chef Jeff McKinney and the Orchid Island Club for the phenomenal Farmer and Chef Summit we attended yesterday. It was a wonderful and tasty way to meet, greet, learn, share and be inspired. Kudos on the wildly creative dishes and for getting us to totally dig pickled beets! So many people worked so hard to make the event, and we thank them all and congratulate them on a job well done. Y'all are being the change we wish to see in the world!
