— from Errol & Kathleen Speed —

We are closing our brick & mortar in Eastsound.

We wanted to thank you for your support all these years. We opened our store 16 years ago with the intent to let those who came and moved here know that there is a community here that valued and maintained a simple way of life…grow your own food, organic, non-toxic, off grid kind of people. We created our alternative general store of homestead supplies to offer those products that were important to us and make them available to our community. Our garden tools, axes and woodlot tools will still be available through our online store www.Smithandspeed.com.

March 17 will be our last day of our brick & mortar store in Eastsound. Please stop by and say goodbye.

Thank you for your love and support.
