saxapahaw general store: January 2010
http://saxapahawgeneralstore.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 9, 2010. Friday, January 8, 2010. Halfway up the road, at Stuydivant's Auto on NC-54, I noticed a marquis that read "collards." I pulled onto the gravel drive, hoping to find someone to make good on that promise. Round back of the barns there to the side of the auto shop, just next to a couple of nice fields, I imposed upon three gentlemen chopping firewood to find out where the collards were.

saxapahaw general store: October 2009
http://saxapahawgeneralstore.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 17, 2009. And the village was quiet. Saxapahaw has developed a certain kind of double life since the summer farmers' market began here five years ago. In the summer, it becomes the quirky destination for folks from the hinterlands, who descend upon the village once per week from the distant burgs of Chapel Hill and Burlington to enjoy local music and local food before returning home and spelling the name of the town to their friends who've never heard of it before. Why have we come toge...

saxapahaw general store: May 2009
http://saxapahawgeneralstore.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Because we have already asked much of the space in our little store, the products on the shelves have gotten pretty comfortable having unlikely neighbors. They protested for a while, but then I think they realized they had more in common than they originally thought, given the proper context. Take, for instance, our fishing worms, which are now nestled cozily next to the wine tools and the picnic baskets. Sunday, May 10, 2009. Local economy as investment. And what are the roles of t...

saxapahaw general store: November 2009
http://saxapahawgeneralstore.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. 1 Please provide details/background on your business:. After all, c-stores usually draw their customers from a two-mile radius around the store—wouldn’t those folks most of all be interested in supporting their local community? We decided that, to our existing product mix of convenience foods, motor oil, etc., we’d serve food made with fresh, locally produced ingredients, good coffee, small vintage wines, and microbrew beers. 4 When and why did you add the foodservice? The vil...

saxapahaw general store: The Case of the Leaky Cooler
http://saxapahawgeneralstore.blogspot.com/2009/06/case-of-leaky-cooler.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. The Case of the Leaky Cooler. This tendency to choose one of a limited number of sides has become deeply ingrained in the American identity. Just think of the sports rivalries we have cared so much about—for the capacity we’ve gained to feel like slugging a complete stranger who’s wearing the wrong color shirt at a sporting event (especially when there’s either Budweiser or Miller available at that event)! 8221; he asked. 8220;How’d you know that?

Thursday, February 26, 2009. And now the Herald Sun. The good people of the Herald Sun have produced a dandy article chronicling our efforts. http:/ heraldsun.southernheadlines.com/orange/10-1106884.cfm. We would like to get as many versions as there are of this article. My mom thanks you as do we. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. When we met our friends Doug and Claire at the Lantern.
