One day back in 2022, I sat down and made a dream list of local businesses I would love to work with someday.
At the very top of my list was Shores Sisters- Cafe, Farm Market, Greenhouse, Bakery
The very next day, Renee called me about building a website.
To this day, the timing of that still feels a little unbelievable to me.
And honestly, I’m so grateful it happened.
Watching Shores Sisters grow over the last few years has been incredible. What started as a local farm market has become a destination people travel for… and now they’ve been recognized nationally as the SBA’s Rural Small Business of the Year.
They recently returned from Washington, DC after accepting their award and I don’t think I can fully explain how proud I am to have had even a small role in their story.
But what makes this even more special to me is this:
This is the kind of win I want for ALL local small businesses.
Not necessarily awards.
But growth.
Visibility.
Community support.
People walking through the door.
The feeling of seeing years of hard work finally recognized.
Shores Sisters didn’t become successful because they magically “went viral.”
They showed up.
Over and over again.
They let people SEE them.
Their faces.
Their story.
Their personality.
Their greenhouse.
Their coffee.
Their chaos.
Their growth.
Their heart.
And people connected with it.
It has been such an honor to help amplify that story online.
Congratulations to the entire Shores Sisters team. You deserve every bit of this ❤️
