Intentional ways we are giving back & staying local:

---

We PROUDLY serve Amavida Coffees and teas. What’s SO special about this brand, besides the fact that they come from the local 30A, Panama City Beach area? 

Amavida ("Amar" in Spanish is "to Love" and "Vida" means "Life") Coffee is:

•Sustainable: Carbon-Responsible, Plastic-Neutral, and Certified B-Corp 

•Ethical: Paying a premium for Fair Trade and Organic coffee and working with organizations to create more prosperous local communities 

•Exceptional Flavor: Roasted with stubborn attention to detail

You can find them online at https://www.amavida.com/

What’s a Fat & Weird Cookie? Giant cookies with fun names! You can check them out online at www.fatandweirdcookie.com

Based out of Panama City, we are excited to bring them to Destin! You can also order their cookies online!

Fat & Weird Cookie is owned by Brad and Aubrie Bromlow. They are a great couple with a great product, that we feel good getting behind! They are food and health/fitness enthusiasts with a beautiful little family! Brad and Jess actually went to college together and were in a brother/sister fraternity and sorority. Both went on to their professions, Brad in the military and Jess in law, but find it so wonderfully ironic that we are both now in the food industry so close together in the panhandle! It’s also wonderfully ironic that one of their best selling cookies has a PB component! Get ready for some delicious treats, locally, here in Destin!!

Who didn't start gardening in 2020? Plant moms & dads unite!!! 

Well, it just so happens that we are going to have a TON of used coffee and espresso grounds that are PERFECT for nutrient-rich compost for community and home gardens. If you'd like a bag, it's yours for a direct donation to Food For Thought. Food for Thought Outreach is a locally based non-profit organization fighting childhood hunger in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. Established in 2010, FFT has grown to serve over 3,000 students with year round programs.

Chef Phil took a field trip in November, 2022 to the Food For Thought Full Circle Kitchen to teach a small group of high school students some hands-on cooking techniques! Welcoming the season of thanks, he taught them preparation (mise en place), knife skills, and blanching for a completed green bean casserole! He also covered the importance of using fresh ingredients and how to budget for the meal!
