The beautiful thing about staying local is that you can serve your people well.  With my current family situation, we can focus specifically on a few areas and provide for the community while supporting local businesses!  While these are not the only places I am at, these are places that I personally visit and stock.  I would like to showcase them in hopes that you would give them a visit!

The Prairie Bee

Focusing primarily on vintage and repurposed items, the vibe of this store seems to mesh really well with our goal of being authentic, simple, and natural.  It is a beautiful partnership!

Barn Happy

This cute gift shop has the heart of Iowa written all over it.  Providing unique soaps to this shop is not only a delight, but it was where we began.  Barn Happy took a chance on us and gave us the advice and confidence to further our reach in the soap industry.  Crafting soaps to fit their love of Iowa-products, you can find our Iowa Soaps here!

Chairish Life Coffee Shop

Out in Ackley, Iowa, is a beautiful little coffee shop, full of gifts and hand-crafted items.  Their staff is as friendly as they come, and the food is sure to satisfy your craving.  I'm almost positive that if you stop by this establishment, you will not only find the perfect gift but also the perfect treat! 

Farmer's Markets

When summer time comes around, my family is hopping busy with local farmer's markets.  We have primarily focused on Waverly Iowa, but have recently tried Shell Rock's and Alison's farmer's markets as well.  As the family grows in age and abilities, we may expand these markets even more as we are able.  Until then, you can visit us at these locations during those market days and hours.  

​

Waverly IA- Saturday mornings 8:30-12

Shell Rock IA- Wednesday evenings 5-7pm

Alison IA-Thursday evenings 5-7pm

​

You can follow us on Facebook to see if we will or will not be at these markets on a weekly basis.  Things come up, or we only commit to attending every other week to some markets.  Facebook keeps you up to date on our commitments each summer.
