Christy Heckathorn: Fleurish Flower Farm

Ginny's Coffeehouse and Creekside Bean and Vine

It's our season closer! What better folks to end a season with than a couple homegrown cofeeshops?! We visted with Trisha Larson of Ginny's Coffeehouse in Philip and Vicky Furnish and Kelly Klein of Creekside Bean and Vine in Spearfish to hear all about what got them going and what keeps them going - besides coffee!   Just a great reminder of the heart and time that goes into these spaces that make our towns communities - and a reminder that when we shop small this time of year it makes all the difference.  Thank you so much for listening this season. We hope that like us, you've heard new things, found new places to explore, and been reminded of your own powerful creativity that shapes our communities. Much love - Jodi and Molly You can find more about these two great coffeeshops on facebook or: https://www.ginnysonline.com/ [https://www.ginnysonline.com/] Insta: badrivercoffee https://beanandvine.co/ [https://beanandvine.co/] Insta: creeksidebeanandvine

Chef Braveheart

Chef Kim Braveheart is a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation of the Pine Ridge Indian Reserve in South Dakota. With a deep respect for her people, she has instinctually embraced both her Indigenous and Jewish heritage and finds connection to them through her cooking.  We run through it all with Chef Braveheart in this episode: From how to use milkweed pods to smart refrigerator storage to the small but mighty Indigenous cooking community. But what comes through all of that is Kim's understanding of the people and place she comes from and the power of a thoughtful meal to bring us all closer together.  You can follow her on Insta @chefbraveheart or visit her website  https://www.chefbraveheart.com [https://www.chefbraveheart.com] Or visit her at 521 Seventh Street, Rapid City SD

Gabriel the Bull

Gabriel Larson, also known as Gabriel the Bull joins us this week to talk about the lure of the West, finding one's path, and securing sold internet connections on the Wyoming plains.  Gabriel is a Wyoming based singer and songwriter who describes his music as Def Lepard meets Spanish guitar. With ripping vocals and haunting instrumentals, the music of Gabriel and band speaks to someone finding themselves on the high plains. Follow Gabriel's journey here: Instagram: @grabriel.the.bull

Laura Capp: Postscript Press

This week we're visiting with Laura Capp of Ashland, Nebraska. Laura is the thoughtful face behind Postscript Press, a shop that carries the important work of thoughtful communication and community lightly.  In her own words, Laura does a lot of different things: "I read. I write. I do calligraphy. I print. I bind books. I love all of it, and I wanted to create a space where it could co-exist, all right next to an espresso machine, where you'll find me making a latte in the morning and a cappuccino in the afternoon."    Laura has created a space and a team that welcomes folks in to be quiet, to slow down, to consider deeply, and perhaps most of all, to find joy. Which , not surprisingly, is also what happens in this conversation.   Follow Laura and team here: Instagram: Postscript Press https://postscript.press https://www.poetryxpost.com [https://postscript.press]

Christy Heckathorn: Fleurish Flower Farm

Meet Christy Heckathorn with Fleurish Flower Farm! Located just outside Elk Point, and on the whim of saying yes to a creative dream, Christy and her family have brought a flower farm to life that began a proverbial seed. It's a fascinating listen to hear Christy tell how she developed a love of flowers and design, and began her flower farm with a handful of seed purchases - and grown into community building U-pick nights with music and local foods. As you listen, we highly suggest you take a look at the images she shares through her Instagram feed @FleurishFix . You'll feel like you're right there on a summer night!
