Do you need a place to honor your green thumb? The NICER Community Garden in Montreal still has a few plots available this summer! They are fertilized raised beds that have access to water, so it couldn't be any easier to grow your own food this year. Save on your grocery bills by renting a bed for only $50 for the summer!

A huge shoutout to the Wakefield/Bessemer Rotary Club for their generous donation to NICER! We couldn't do what we do without the support of these amazing organizations. We truly appreciate it. 😎

What a spectacular evening at the 2026 Hygge Hike last night! The sky was clear, the moon was bright, and the trails were amazing! Thanks to everyone who came out to share this fun event with us. 🩵

We are so grateful for our partnership with the Penokee Rangers for this event. Thanks to all our volunteers who helped throughout the day and night as many hands truly does make light work. It has turned into a well-oiled machine over the years!

Late Run Coffee will be open 4-8 tonight, so swing in for a warm up before or after the 2026 Hygge Hike at Night at night tonight!

Hey!

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather, and we’re sad to say that with a high of 12°F and an overnight low of -1°F, we won’t be able to bring the ambulance out of storage for the Hygge Hike (NICER - Northern Iron County Engaged Residents)

That said, we will be opening the shop on Saturday, February 28 from 4 PM – 8 PM if you’d like to warm up with a hot cocoa, coffee, or something cozy before heading out to the Historic Montreal Ski Trails. We’ll have a few goodies like housemade cookies and heavenly desserts.

Stay warm out there, and we hope to see you at the shop!

Lana & Chris
