A non-profit growing fruits and vegetables exclusively for underserved communities in New York that also makes fire merch to raise money. I recently got a t-shirt from their recent collabs with various clothing brands, but the coolest part about Sky High Farms is their custom merch. Each of their custom merch pieces are upcycled from vintage, thrifted clothing. Check out their custom hats, you never know what you’re gonna get, but just know you’re helping provide fresh veggies to folks who need them. If you’re not interested in merch, and just want to support them, donate here!

One of my favorite shops is ran by Geoffrey Kixmiller and his partner, and they offer books, prints, clothing, objects, and a rapid response press. I probably order something each week from them and I love their curation and approach to design, they kill it! They also donate 10% of their profits, right now it’s to a fund called LA Tenants Union’s #FoodNotRent Solidarity Fund. AND on top of that, they offer free Risograph printing for activists, organizers, and protestors!! What else could you ask for?

LiFER is a handmade DIY cut-and-sew clothing company based out of LA, exclusively made from thrifted and recycled clothing, and run by my incredibly talented girlfriend. I enjoy helping out with these garments as much as I’m allowed, and find the fabric cutting process extremely meditative. Traveling and thrifting for these projects with my girlfriend in far-off forgotten corners of the country is one of the great joys of my life. Follow @lifershop on Instagram and support a great artist!

While everyone is raving about their trendy nonstick pans, I’m here to bring the spotlight back to cast iron cookware. There’s a huge stigma around how hard it is to take care of cast irons, but it’s really not bad! You just gotta keep using it, and over time, it basically becomes nonstick. This article has sent off a tangent, and now I am a proud owner of a well-seasoned cast iron pan and griddle.

I’ve never been to Disney as a kid and as I grew older I always felt like I was too old for it. I spontaneously tagged along with my family the day before they left and I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Avatar, and even as an adult I think I had the best week of my life and I felt like a kid again. I legitimately had real tears of joy on some of the rides. It’s never too late!

Antique shops have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood road trips. When I was little, I always thought antique shops were just useless junk. As I grew older, I’ve learned to appreciate the “junk” a bit more. Browsing through the aisles, they kind of feel like a time machine. My top things to look out for are vintage cameras, dutch ovens, and vintage porcelain.
