      Nice clarification, but now I have another question. Has Alec stopped making stuff for his company? Seems as though this was the facility they were working out of but now you reside in it so I am left wondering where did all his production move. If it even did at all seeing as he doesn’t even sell his grinders on his website anymore. Just curious.

    This fall when I head into Bozeangles, I may drop off some donuts and coffee. Glad you are taking over the shop.

    Great to see the old shop back :D
    Can't wait to see what you'll be creating there, i know it's going to be awesome !!
    Just one small request, next time there's bees, please call a beekeeper to get them removed, don't kill them.
