What a journey it has been for us!
We moved into 707 Water St in October of 2024 with a mood board and a vision. Becca & I got to work painting, removing old flooring, old paneling that was covering this fabulous preserved vintage wallpaper, patched holes, laid new flooring, rehabbed antique pieces for displays and a checkout counterā¦ that was phase 1. Create a unique space where we could support farmers wanting to sell their goods direct to our community.
Shortly after we opened our friends who owned a coffee truck moved in with us. It was an amazing collaboration. Who doesnāt love delicious coffee while they shop!? They grew, we grew. We helped each other.
has grown to over 80 farmers & makers.

Phase 2 happened about a year in, to spruce up the back room with seating space for our coffee customers and more vendor display space. Lots more paint, lots more carpet removal & floor sanding/ refinishing later.. we had seating.
Phase 3 is now underway, (another mood board and another vision) we want to have a beautiful space to serve you all. This space will be much larger for them so they can start serving sandwiches and expand their menu. More seating with natural light coming with it.
Upstairs is also getting a mini makeover with again paint and sanding floors/ refinishing them. will move her inventory in to make an adorable clothing boutique. It will also include all of our current jewelry, leather works and hat vendors. Weāll be adding thrifted goods up there that fit our collection & vibes.
Guess what weāre even adding signage on the exterior so everyone knows we exist! šš»š
We collected just enough in consignment percentages each month to pay bills and rehab the space one phase at a time. The Sauk Prairie community helped build this place, along with a bunch of farmers & makers how cool is that?! You all had a part. SO THANK YOU š every purchase supports a local farmer, your neighbor who makes barn quilts or pottery, your talented friend that makes jewelry etc. This wouldnāt be possible without all of you and building owners John Brennan & Dan Kelter. šš»
