Bee Wild Rose
Fire Cider: Apple cider vinegar wellness tonic" Melissa explains, "It is an apple cider vinegar enhanced with over 20 beneficial roots, fruits, veggies, and herbs.

After 30 days, we add local wildflower honey from our beekeeping friends resulting in a delicious wellness tonic."

Flotsam Made
Flotsam was born from a desire to create something out of furniture found on the streets, destined for the landfill. From spoons and cutting boards to side tables and bookshelves. After I source the wood, I must deconstruct it and/or bring each piece down to a manageable size, then I cut and shape each piece individually. The production process is a dance between the planer, table saw, bandsaw, and an array of different sanding and hand tools.
