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. This inspired her to conceptualize a unique idea: a grocery store where individual farmers could sell their produce without losing their farm identity.
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.
This episode with Alliyah Perry is a captivating exploration of entrepreneurship, community engagement, and the transformative power of supporting local businesses.
Alliyah's journey from farming and selling at local markets to creating a thriving grocery store demonstrates the profound impact that individuals can have on their communities.
