An easy and low investment way to sell your handmade, vintage, or craft supply goods. I opened my first Etsy Shop in 2010, and had two others over the years.
If you are interested in opening up your own Esty Shop, use my link to register, and we'll both receive 40 free listing credits. https://etsy.me/2GTdRXV Be sure to come back and share your shop name so that I can support your new endeavour.
Something we've been happy to participate in over the years is Plan B Organic Farms produce shares. It's a wonderful way to receive fresh organic foods, while supporting a local farm. You simply choose from a small or large farm share, local and imported produce or strictly local, weekly or biweekly, and wether you want to pickup or have it delivered. There's also the option to purchase extras in their online shop, such as eggs, wraps, and have other offerings added to your order.
