Working on getting linked up

So it’s important to stay socially connected since we are a company ‘for the people’ . We tend to be private people but realize that what we do with The Village Stand and Artisanal Miami are so much more important than our personal views. We want to get as many local artisans highlighted. For us it’s important for people to see what’s right under their nose. We love to connect our friends and customers to amazing things just below the surface by stepping outside the big box for just a second 🙂 Now we are looking to link our blog to our website as well as to our twitter & facebook – let’s see what happens!!!

Drink Organic Soda Instead!

There are so many little, all natural soda brands out there. One of our very favorites is Galvanina Organic Soda imported from Italy. Finally ingredients you can read and understand. These sodas even come in delicious flavors like lemon, cranberry-pomegranate & blood orange (my personal favz) Yea, they have sugar, but it’s better than all that genetically modified corn syrup in practically every other drink out there. The big box stores need to sell, so they need to buy cheap and turn product. The Village Stand is a little shop, we focus on the good stuff. This is our community project and out heart’s content: to bring good stuff.  We don’t care about making money as much as we care about having a better, wholesome, unadulterated experience. Allow yourself to experience better everything! You’ll feel better by making better choices little by little.  And in this case yummy and fizzy win the race!
