Alliyah Perry: Planting the Seeds of Success with Farm + Flourish

Meet Alliyah Perry-

Alliyah Perry's journey began with a passion for growing and selling produce at farmers markets. However, she found this approach unsustainable due to time constraints and limited accessibility.

The vision came to life when a space in what was a coffee shop and roastery in Centralia became available.

This store, named Farm + Flourish, has become a beacon for local farmers and producers to showcase and sell their products, staying true to their farm identity.

With a strong sense of community, Alliyah's grocery store has become a hub for local producers, offering a wide range of products that cater to the region's diverse tastes and preferences. This commitment to local sourcing and community engagement has not only received a warm reception from customers but has also set the stage for further expansion and the introduction of a deli or food service.

Alliyah's store is a testament to the rewarding outcomes of supporting local businesses and building a stronger, more connected community.
