All in a hard day’s work! 🍎

We had the cutest little helper picking apples from the tree here at Rudder’s. Moments like this are a good reminder of how lucky we are to live in a community surrounded by local growers, farm stands, and fresh seasonal produce.

Here’s to supporting local and enjoying the simple things that make this time of year so special.

One of our customers, author R.J. Norgard, spends quite a bit of time right here at Rudder’s working on his writing, so we were thrilled to get the chance to attend his recent book signing and celebrate his newest book, Winter Kill!

One of our favorite things about Rudder’s is getting to know the people who walk through our doors and getting to cheer them on when exciting things happen. We’re so happy to have been a little part of your writing journey.
