🔆We’re super excited to announce our ~member spotlight~ campaign. We’re going around and asking folks what it means to be 🔆

This week we spoke with head honcho, Rio!! Here’s what he had to say:
“To us at local first means community first and that starts with inclusivity. From customers, to suppliers we want to build strong relationships that encourage folks of all walks of life to enjoy nature in a conscientious and sustainable way. Lastly, ensuring that resources stay in our community because in doing so we strengthen our overall community for future generations.”

If you’re a member and you want to be featured shoot us a DM. ❤️❤️❤️
