Partners in Crime With Honeyrun Farm

For years I had been employed in major chains. While in that line of work, I often heard people talk about small businesses and tight-knit communities as if it were fable, something that didn't exist anymore. But I have found that such things still do exist! You simply need to know where to look- and no, it's not found in the mall parking lot.

I always imagined small businesses as these struggling mom & pop shops independent and cautious of one another, but now my eyes have been opened to the real sense of community that binds these shops together. Case in point is the Garden Herb Shop's relationship with Honeyrun Farm, the organic and local-ish (Williamsport) family business that provides us delicious honey.

What connects small business owners like these together most is the ingredients of kindness and consideration for kin, a sort of, "They're a small business. I'm a small business. Let's help each other out," kind of mindset. Assisting one another out via word of mouth is the old old-school form of Google.

And so the crew at the Garden Herb Shop and at HM wanted to express their gratitude for Honeyrun not out of obligation but out of sincere appreciation. When you come across something of really good quality, you tell your friends about it, right? Well that's what we'd like to do now. :)
