Briar Patch is A Clear Winner

IMG_20180531_212105.jpgIt’s always a treat to discover a business that is authentic and clear in it’s purpose. Newly opened Briar Patch Herbs in SW Portland is such a place and I’m delighted to announce it as the latest A Clear Place Winner for entrepreneurial spirit. From the extensive inventory of organic herbs to its repurposed wood shelves and tree decor, the shop exudes healing Earth energy. You’ll find highly regarded Floracopeia products along with a commitment to showcasing quality local vendors. Owner Sheri Copans is passionate about herbs and happily offers suggestions for both newbies and seasoned shoppers. Clearly the stars have aligned to bring this refreshing herbal oasis to the neighborhood. Congrats Briar Patch and here’s to a rewarding and enriching experience for all!

Willamette Week review

 Looks like the folks from WW followed my tip to check out Happy Sparrow (read our Awards page).  Their review appeared in today’s issue. Spreading the word is always a mixed blessing … like a good thing you want to keep to yourself so it won’t be spoiled.  I’m betting on owners Mary and Danny, however, to keep their cafe as fresh and authentic as it is right now.  Read WW review on Happy Sparrow.
