One of the things we are wholeheartedly committed to is buying good and services from local vendors. "Think globally Act locally" is usually thought of in the context of individual consumers but we think it can have an enormous impact if companies follow that mantra as well. Quite often we could get goods and services less expensively from large national firms but we want our firm's dollars to stay in the local community and we value the personal service that we get from our friends and neighbors. We are thrilled to get all of our letterhead and envelopes from the great folks at First Step Print Shop (http://firststepprintshop.com/); The Sewing Basket (https://www.sewingbasketvt.com/embroidery-n-screen-printing) takes care of all of our embroidery for hats, shirts, etc.; We love the natural water from Vermont Heritage Spring Water (http://www.vtheritage.com/); Mike Hughart at Kinney Insurance (http://www.insure802.com/) is the best in the business and Ryan's Bookkeeping (https://ryansbookkeeping.com/) is fabulous. We'll continue to try to look for local vendors to meet our business needs. Local First!
