  1. Greenroots Gallery: Art, Nature & Creative Business in One Space

    I still remember my first visit. It was 2023, and I walked into Greenroots for a meeting with fellow creatives alongside the owner. From the moment I set foot there, I knew this space was different. There’s a quiet energy that surrounds you as soon as you arrive—something that feels both inspiring and peaceful at the same time. That first encounter left a mark, one that I still carry with me every time I return. Located at Shop No 1 at Greenroots, right next to Beauty and Nail Adventure […]

  9. An interesting comment from a local shop owner in Berlin which I had a chat with.

    "During corona it showed people do have interest in supporting local shops. The conclusion -after calculating- is that if every person uses only 3 local shops to buy their things at, then local shops can survive.'

    This is just great, and another reason why the idea behind Lokjo is 'on the point'.

  17. It's Independent Bookshop Day. If you buy an ebook from Bookshop.org, the money supports a local bookstore of your choosing. There are three local bookstores that they support in my area, and every time I buy an ebook, I can choose which bookstore I want the donation to go to. A great way to support local booksellers, even if you can't make it into their shop. Works for me. #books #bookstodon #booksky #mastodon #novel #support #local #buylocal #indie #indieAuthor #indieAuthors #readers #reading #read #satire #saturday #writing #writer #writers #writingCommunity #social #bookstore #IndependentBookshop #bookshop #readingCommunity

  19. Community members buying in to new #FarmingtonME #FoodCoOp

    by Jamie Azulay, April 14, 2026

    "The Farmington Food Co-op is now open on Front Street. For $150, community members can purchase a lifetime membership and become a co-owner of the local market.

    "That membership comes with monthly discounts and a say in how the business is run.

    [...]

    The co-op's board of directors is also focused on sourcing local products. Paige Hemond, bulk packager and manager, said, 'You put back into your local economy. You help the local farmers, and you help your neighbors, the people who work here, and all the producers.'

    "The co-op is open to the public, but employees say the members will benefit the most. Skistimas explained, 'We track spending, so however much you spend, you get a percentage back at the end of the year.'

    "That percentage will be determined by the members themselves when they look at the yearly revenue and vote on how that money should be spent. They already have around 250 members after opening on April 8.

    "Cox said, 'I'm thrilled that the co-op’s coming in to do it. I've been members of co-ops in other places, and it works well.' The Neighboring Food Co-op Association reports that in the 2025 fiscal year, Maine's nine other food co-ops made $50.7 million in revenue.

    " 'It's really about just keeping access alive and creating a strong, healthy community,' Skistimas said.

    "If you are interested in getting involved, but you are not ready to buy in, the food co-op is hiring for customer service help. It is open seven days a week."

  20. On the Lokjo map, when clicking the blue Quick button, there's about 60+ different categories for local shops to search for your needs.

    There's more to find through the regular search.

    I'm working on a fix for some missing ones, which should be done in the next weeks.

    If anything isn't there, just let me know.

    p.s. Lokjo comes in english, spanish, french, dutch and german language.

    #NovaraMedia
    Angus Hanton - author of the book ‘Vassal State: How America Runs Britain’ sits down with Aaron Bastani to give his take on how Reeves and Starmer are reacting to the economic fallout of the war on Iran.

    #GifsArtidote: hanton says we've been economically invaded by the so-called US with hundreds of thousands of companies taken over by them. recent example named is #deliveroo

    it's absolutely essential we all start transitioning to buy local & boycott multinationals as much as possible.

  36. Went to one of the #farms to buy #eggs. They also had #yoghurt today so I took some of that as well. I don't like unflavored yoghurt from the supermarket, but fresh it's great. The two are incomparable! This is why I buy food at the farms. You won't find anything more #fresh and #local 😍🥰.

    On the way back, I saw some sheep chasing a cat out of their field. Never seen sheep this angry 🤣.

    Diese Aussage lese und höre ich ab und zu.

    Wusstet ihr,
    … dass der lokale Buchhandel nahezu jedes Buch innerhalb eines Tages bestellen kann?
    … dass viele Buchhandlungen einen eigenen Online-Shop betreiben?

    Mit dem Kauf in der regionalen Buchhandlung unterstützt ihr zudem die lokale Infrastruktur sowie uns Autor:innen.
