Easter weekend
HOPPY EASTER!
What a wonderful weekend it was. We want to send a million thanks to everyone who spent part of their beautiful Easter weekend with us. We are now officially into week three of the season, and things are going strong!
Whether you are one of our "long-time Purple Pepper planters" or a "been driving by for years and finally had to stop" shopper, we appreciate you choosing to shop local. The energy at both the shop and our pop-up was incredible, and seeing so many familiar and new faces makes what we do so rewarding.

Our Stay Dirty Crew
A shop is only as good as the hands that keep the soil moving and the plants happy. A huge shout-out to our hardworking team: Alex, Alicia, Jess, Megan, Paula, Tina, and Toni.
We also want to give a special "above and beyond thank you" to our helping hands behind the scenes: Ed, Brian, Axton, and AJ!
