Project Shoppe Provides An Income Stream Features Locally Sourced Products Enables Us To Feed More Clients
Project Shoppe was born out of the need to provide our organization with an income stream as well as the need to increase community awareness, (ultimately increasing the number of meals and clients we can serve).
Fun facts: our Shoppe’s grand opening on September 24, 2010 marks the 8th anniversary of Village Project’s inception as well as the 5th anniversary of moving into our current building space!
In addition to the locally sourced products below, Project Shoppe will also feature some Village Project favorites, such as our homemade:
- granola
- herbed salts
- dog biscuits
- specialty vinegars
- Village Project merchandise
Learn The Story Behind Our Products
Gourmet Firehouse Salsa is owned by Angelo Tetorakis, who makes and sells his famous mango and pineapple salsas.
The journey began while Angelo, a now retired firefighter, was making salsa for his co-workers one evening at the firehouse. The recipe slowly evolved as the other firemen told Angelo how to improve its taste, and eventually the first of his famous recipes emerged.
All of Firehouse Salsa’s ingredients are free of additives, preservatives, and fillers, and include all natural fruit, peppers, and spices. They are delicious on crackers, served with cheese, or used in your everyday cooking.

All of Hazelmade’s products are made by Susan Hazel Rich in Kent, Ohio. From her home, she designs greeting cards, notepads, tea towels, little notes, and pocket journals.
The company began as a way for Susan to branch out from her day job as a graphic designer, and has continued to grow ever since. She now has an online shop, and her products are sold in various retail stores around the U.S.
We’re very excited to feature Hazelmade in our store. Be sure to stop in and check out all of her beautiful products!

Modern Sprout was desperate for a fool-proof way to cultivate healthy herbs, vegetables, and flowers, yet maintain their self-esteem. They wanted a victory garden, not planters full of defeat.
After researching non-traditional options, they found hydroponics. A method of cultivation that’s clean, self-maintaining, and yields fantastic results, hydroponics immediately seemed perfect for busy people like them.
But every kit they tried was expensive, difficult to set up, and more homely than homey. They were unimpressed with their options, so they planted the seeds for Modern Sprout. Now they provide planters that are simple, stylish, and fertile with success.
Just add water.
