Beecher’s Smoked Flagship Cheese
It’s very flavorful but not too smoky, creamy in texture, and a great complement to hamburgers or anything else at home on the grill.

Finn Crisp flatbread
Rye crackers that are big and round with a hole in the middle, fun to break apart and eat. Minimal ingredients, great flavor.

I love this new vegan cheese! It tastes and melts like a milder cheese such as Provolone and is absolutely delicious!

Camamu Black Beauty Soap
Has a fantastic texture and the smell is incredible (it gets richer as you lather up!) Leaves my face feeling clean, but not overly dry.

GT’s Gratitude Kombucha with turmeric, carrot and ginger
I’m a big kombucha drinker and this is by far my favorite right now and the sugar content is low! Only 4 grams per serving. Score!

Ziva hummus
Locally grown garbanzos, the only sprouted hummus, and smooth and creamy with just the right amount of tanginess. Made by a PCC staffer!

Tony’s Coffee Café Carmelita
I love the rich, complex flavor; it’s invitingly toasty and sweet, but also has a no-nonsense boldness that keeps me going day in and day out.
