Young Coffee
We teamed up with our friends at Young Coffee on a custom blend of beans from Costa Rica and Nicaragua with a honey process. Medium roast and super smooth. Along with the coffee we also have heavyweight tees and hoodies from Canada, and tea towels from India. And with Klean Kanteen we did 8 oz. tumblers and a 32 oz. storage container, both stainless steel and insulated. See More

Ice Fishing Houses
According to legend, in 1888, an early Minnesotan named Sven Stevenson was living in a cabin on a bluff above Lake Minnewaska. A sudden landslide brought Sven’s house down the slope and onto the frozen lake. The slide had also opened a small hole on the ice and Sven saw fish swimming below, so he dropped in a line, a few other people came over to watch the hole with him, and the tradition was born.
