Sierra designs and creates handmade jewelry that is both colorful and unique and always fun to wear. Unusual and quite often vintage materials are used to create jewelry that will be hard to find elsewhere. You will always stand out in the crowd wearing an original design from Manic Trout!

Emily Kircher Recycling Artist
Emily Kircher Recycling Artist

Gimme that garbage! There are so many unwanted items out there that still have tons of potential. I save them from the garbage and transform them into new and functional items. Right now, I cut fabric salvaged from old clothes and linens and crochet it into purses and rugs, cut old plates and cups into tiles to mosaic found objects, use bottlecaps and books to make resin-filled magnets and pins, and thrift store yarn to crochet pouches and pet toys. However, I'm always looking for inspiration to use new types of garbage to make new things

Hip Drip
Hip Drip

We are a small socially and environmentally conscious roastery located in Berea Ohio, a small suburb just a few minutes south of Cleveland. We aim to be a source for interested people to try out the quality, nuances and diversity of organic, Fair Trade, decaffeinated and other specialty coffees. At the moment our national organic certification is in process. However, we still operate as an organic handler and roast only certified organically grown coffees from around the world.

In a nutshell, we love the experience of coffee, how it can be a common thread between many seemingly different cultures, how amazingly unique coffees from around the world can taste, its vast history and of course the meticulous crafts of growing, roasting and brewing. I like to think that if the proper channels are taken and all who participate in the coffee chain, including the environment, are treated fairly then it is an honest and dynamic living. As a roaster and a business, we are always learning and experiencing new things.
