Fun things are opening up in the lovely town of Ripon including Austin's Coffee Crafters! Everything from pups on the patio events to workshops & events! It ain't your typical coffee shop. ✨

Hi All! Just wanted to let you know that our family will be opening a neighborhood coffee shop in our town of Ripon. We'll be serving specialty coffee, crafted teas, artisan sandwiches & housemade baked goods.

We'll have a little lovely patio where dogs & bikes are welcomed. We'll also have fun events like free reading circles for the kiddos, pups on the patio days, workshops and more!

It's looking like we'll be opening sometime in late June! If there is anything you would like to see, let us know!

Curating the first issue of the Valley Gathering was a lot of fun. I met amazing people and became inspired to continue with a second issue. The theme? People who Inspire. While I have a list of amazing people in mind, I wanted to see if anyone in the valley inspires you. From farmers to artisans and family... Who inspires you in the central valley? Direct message The Valley Gathering, I would love to learn more.

Hidden Gems are located all around the valley. My favorites are nestled in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Modesto.

Take a peek and gander around these cute antique shops that make up Roseburg Square.
