Five Minutes With… Rachael Mott of The Hermit on Green Street ✨

Welcome to Five Minutes With — The Anchor’s series all about getting to know the incredible people behind our local businesses and community spaces. 💛

This week, we caught up with Rachael Mott, owner of The Hermit on Green Street — a cozy, storybook-inspired shop filled with books, art, local goods, and vintage finds. Nestled right across from the Fruit Center, it’s a space built on connection, creativity, and charm.

From her favorite Bartaco Baja Fish Tacos 🌮 to her love of World’s End 🌿, Rachael’s story is full of warmth, creativity, and small-town inspiration.
