WE STARTED
IN TALENT.
We started in Talent in 2009. The Almeda Fire took the store in 2020. We rebuilt at Stewart Avenue in Medford, ran for two years, then the power company bought the building. The equipment moved to a warehouse in Talent for a while, then to the Applegate. We ship from Ruch now. The aliens are still here.

SISKIYOUS.
The Applegate Valley is rural, agricultural, off-grid in places, and very much its own thing. Working farms, vineyards, pear orchards, drip lines, soil prep, the river. It’s where we are now.
We carry what we’d use. We tell you when it’s gone. We don’t email much. We barely market.

ABOUT THE
ALIENS.
They’ve been here since 2009. The cowboy and the fedora. They are not a marketing bit. They are not a mascot system. They’re just there.
If you came up shopping with us in Talent, you know them. If you didn’t, welcome.
