One of the realities of running a small business is that space is finite. Every shelf & corner eventually reaches a point where something needs to move before something new can arrive. We've definitely reached that moment.

As DuneSide continues to evolve, we've been sorting through things from the shop, our homes, & remnants of past creative endeavors. We have lots of practical, unusual znd ourgrown items ready for their next chapter. Think of it as part garage sale and part treasure hunt.

We'll be continuing to restock the outdoor tables as space allows, so it's worth stopping by from time to time to see what's appeared. And while you're here, grab a treat. ✨

The Bog Roll was inspired by cranberry bogs disappearing into the fog. By dark water, salty air, & the smell of wet earth after rain. It's our coastal take on a cinnamon roll.

A sourdough brioche roll filled with cranberries from local bogs, orange juice and zest, and a cranberry liqueur reduction from Adrift Distillers. Each one is finished with a frosting made from grass-fed butter and cream cheese.

To our surprise, they've developed quite a following. For those who missed out yesterday, we made another batch this morning. 👀

The GrassRoots Garbage Gang has spent the last 25 years helping keep our beaches clean and our coastline beautiful through the efforts of ordinary people showing up and doing the work.

To help support this year's July 5th Beach Cleanup, they're hosting a silent auction fundraiser in our shop.

If you're curious about the cleanup, interested in volunteering, or want to learn more about what they've accomplished over the years, stop in and take a look at their table. It's a great opportunity to connect with the folks behind the effort and find out how to get involved.

A healthy community is built by people who care enough to participate. 🌊🦀🧹

For most of human history, knowledge lived in people. Skills survived because someone took the time to teach and someone else cared enough to learn.

A great deal of what humanity knows has been carried forward this way. Wisdom was developed through relationship. It wasn't passed through institutions or online courses.

Every generation has had people who devoted themselves to a craft and became keepers of knowledge. Some learned from mentors. Others learned through years of observation, experimentation, and hard-earned experience. They invested years of their lives learning through failure and persistence.

Dough happens to be what we're learning right now, but the lessons feel much bigger than bread. Being entrusted with knowledge that took another person years to acquire is a big deal.

Today, we're feeling grateful for the people who've shared what they know with us and grateful for the opportunity to take our place these traditions.

Since moving into the new space, one of the more interesting things for us to observe has been how people respond to change.

New ideas are being introduced & new offerings are finding their place. DuneSide's vision is continuing to evolve and it's evident that some people immediately enjoy what's taking shape while others are still relating to it through what existed before.

We've been having a lot of conversations about what's happening here and felt called to share what we're noticing. What's stood out to us is how quickly people create stories in order to orient themselves within an experience.

The same changes can feel exciting to one person, confusing to another, inspiring to a third, and unnecessary to someone else. The thing itself remains the same, yet the interpretation changes depending on who is observing it.

The longer we've watched the process, the more it's felt like a small example of something much larger...

Human beings are now encountering more information, perspectives, and belief systems than at any other point in history. It wasn't long ago that most people spent their lives surrounded primarily by family, neighbors, and a relatively shared set of cultural assumptions. Today, a person can encounter dozens of competing worldviews before breakfast.

Perhaps that's why perspective matters so much. The stories we tell help us orient ourselves, but they aren't the whole of reality. They’re just interpretations of it.

With the world becoming increasingly interconnected it seems learning how to remain grounded while holding space for complexity may be one of the more important skills of our time.

Happy Wednesday, see you all Friday! 🫶🏼✨️

Remember when life was simpler and avocado toast was the culprit behind an entire generation's economic decline? Funny how a culture raised on stories about manna and daily bread somehow managed to make fancy toast controversial. 👀

Anyway, here's breakfast on our Coastal Vollkorn Rye sourdough. If you'd like a loaf of your own, today is the day. We'll be closed Wednesday and Thursday and back again on Friday with fresh bread and a whole new menu.

Hope you see you this afternoon, we're here until 4pm.

There was a time when pioneers crossed mountains, rivers, and continents in search of new possibilities. Today that same spirit often shows up in kitchens annd other small businesses across the world.

The landscape may have changed, but the act of pioneering remains much the same.

Both begin with the ability to see possibility where others see uncertainty. Both require a willingness to move beyond adversity and self-doubt. Both ask a person to venture into unfamiliar territory and return with something of value.

Every business begins this way. First it exists only in the imagination. Then through effort, discipline, & persistence it becomes something other people can experience.

Today's lunch came from Surf Hog BBQ, and it felt like a good reminder of that.

We see that creative fire in Shannon and Tom. They took an idea and turned it into something real through hard work and a genuine desire to feed people well.

This week also marks their one-year anniversary in business. Anyone who's built something from the ground up knows that the first year requires a whole lot of courage, long hours, and faith. 

We're grateful to share the Peninsula with people who are willing to do the work of bringing good ideas into the world.

If you've been meaning to stop by Surf Hog BBQ, consider this your sign. Go grab a meal, congratulate them on their first year, and help support one of the many local businesses helping make this community what it is. 🍖✨️
