Also when you get a chance, stop by Namaste' Center for WellBeing in Brookville, PA, and see the Victory Garden planted by Rusty and the Quiet Creek crew. At the moment we only have some kale and a few herbs that have survived this harsh winter. The Center is operated by our sisters Melora and Maryellen. The new Center offers yoga, massage, and whole foods lunch specials (Tues.-Fri. from 11:30 to 1:30 pm). See more Namaste' Center info under the Classes button.
