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.

Full Cycle Organics Brewing Compost Tea and Premium Organic Compost is now available at Project Shoppe!
Full Cycle Organics~100% Premium. 0% Questionable.
Typical recycling seems almost second nature now. From the grocery to the city streets–even in our own homes–it’s found nearly everywhere. Now, it’s possible to move beyond recycling just paper and plastic–to use your food waste to create a nutrient-rich composting soil that is superior to anything currently available in your local home & garden store.
By recycling our food waste, Full Cycle Organics has done something pretty amazing to further landfill reduction efforts and methane gas emissions–all while supporting a family-owned and operated business.
The founding family started with a vision to create something great out of Cleveland’s food waste. With a whole lot of heart and “tote-loads” of weekly trash no longer entering local landfills, Full Cycle Organics Premium Compost was made.
Brewing Compost Tea and Premium Organic Compost 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.

Join the LYM story and help fight Pediatric Cancer AND Village Project with your purchase… that’s a double whammy!
Founded by Jess Ekstrom out of Raleigh, North Carolina, Headbands of Hope is an apparel line of headbands for ladies and kids designed to support children with cancer.
Inspired by a summer internship at a wish-granting organization, Jesse saw that a lot of kids loved to wear headbands after losing their hair to chemotherapy. She did a google search and realized that there were no businesses donating headbands to kids with cancer, only wigs and hats. Jess started Headbands of Hope out of her dorm room in college with two headbands, her computer, and a burning passion to help these kids (and a lot of coffee).
WE HOPE YOUR HEADBAND WILL SERVE AS A REMINDER WHEN YOU WEAR IT THAT SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS CAN MAKE A HUGE IMPACT.
The Cleveland Clinic recommends eating these five seasonal staples and summer surprises to keep your health in tip-top shape:
Get Your Dose of Vitamin D
One of the most obvious benefits of soaking up that extra sunshine is getting your daily boost of vitamin D. Maintaining a steady supply has been shown to slow down aging, prevent inflammation, improve bone health, and improve immunity and resistance against diseases. Recently, a study found that the vitamin can reduce the risk of early death in people diagnosed with heart problems.
Fruit Season Is Here
Grocery stores and farmers markets are brimming with seasonal, fresh fruits. When humidity is high, we are likely to crave a few slices of watermelon or a delicious mango smoothie. Other healthy summer fruits including berries, pineapples, kiwis, oranges, and peaches can prevent dehydration and provide a generous diet of vitamin C and vitamin E.
Sweating Is A Good Thing
As the summer temperature rises, your body tends to sweat more. This is actually a good thing! It cools your body and improves blood circulation. Perspiration also helps clear out your skin by purging bacteria, dirt, oil and other impurities. The benefits aren’t just limited to physical health. Prolonged sweating has also been associated with the release of endorphins which improve your mood and overall mental health.
Nature And The Great Outdoors
Improve your mental and physical well-being through doing outdoor activities in nature. Some studies have shown that spending just 30 minutes in nature every week can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and depression.
Exposure to fresh air is important, too–especially for city-dwellers exposed to pollution. Breathing cleaner oxygen can increase your levels of serotonin, promoting happiness and well-being!
Rejuvenate With A Vacation
Research has suggested that taking a break from your usual life and schedule to travel and relax is required to keep yourself healthy and productive in the long run. No matter how old you are, taking some time away from the everyday stresses of the corporate and academic worlds can provide some well-rounded benefits that include reducing stress, boosting creativity, improving focus, and developing family bonds. Who doesn’t like to vacation? So, go ahead and plan your next trip.
Your Heart Is Healthier
Some studies have shown that the risk of heart disease peaks during the winter months, but reaches its lowest point during summer. Blood pressure, total cholesterol, and waist circumference are highest during the winter months, increasing the likelihood of heart disease. Findings support the belief that heart disease risk factors are higher during the winter holidays than they are throughout summer. Good cholesterol levels are said to be higher during summer compared to colder months, possibly since the hot weather is not as likely to constrict blood vessels and people become more active.
