The Chris Wark P-Pod has become a key part of our seedling production process for the Reach and Teach Garden Project. Contact @chris-mas.bsky.social if you are interested in investing in his patented technologies for growing food. #smartfarming #agtech #sustainablefood #urbangardening

This about captures it. #comeyindictment #trumpjustice #nokings

A lettuce seedling that I grew from seed in the Reach and Teach Garden Project (upper left) produced this lettuce growth when transplanted in Click and Grow system that we sell in our shop. What do you think? #urbangardening #kitchengarden #cityofgoodliving #gardenproject

We are thinking of adding Drinkmate soda machine products to our store. This would offer an alternative to Sodastream. Drinkmate is a U.S. company based in Michigan and manufactured in Taiwan. What do you think? #sodamachine #drinkmate #idrink #notsodastream

One month experiment to see if I can use our Click and Grow for hydroponic growing. I would call the experiment a success. From left to right, marjoram, mint, and basil. Growing media is Root Riot cubes in net pots. Nutrient solution is Master Blend. #hydroponics #indoorgarden #cityofgoodliving

Go ahead and say "AWWW..."! These are not Jellycats but adorable and cuddly animals from WUAMAN made from hypoallergenic Alpaca. Fair trade from a small family owned business in Peru. Check them out in our shop! #notjellycats #indiebookstore #cityofgoodliving #fairtrade #cuddly

35 years ago, I got to marry the love of my life Craig Wiesner. I'm so grateful to First Presbyterian Church Palo Alto, Rev. Diana Gibson and Rev. Dick Symes who boldly performed our marriage ceremony and the many friends who were there then and ever since to strengthen and affirm us as a couple.

Join us Saturday, 3/29 for a joyful celebration of diversity, inclusion, and storytelling! Drag Story Hour hosted by First Presbyterian Church Palo Alto features uplifting stories, crafts, and snacks. shop.reachandteach.com/event/2025-0... #dragstoryhour #lgbtq #safespace #cityofpaloalto

Reach and Teach supports the 2/28 Economic Blackout this Friday but encourages folks to come to our shop at 4pm for a National Day of Reading event as we create a welcoming and affirming space for #transgender and #non-binary youth through readings of inclusive literature tinyurl.com/SMCPCNDOR2025

I'm really enjoying reading Chris Hayes's The Sirens' Call. Like what I said at one time about The Power of Habit, this book is an owner's manual for your brain that wasn't shipped with the product. shop.reachandteach.com/book/9780593...

By customers' request, Reach and Teach is on bookshop.org/shop/reachan... where you can get books, ebooks, and audio books while supporting independent bookstores across the nation. But you can still order directly at reachandteach.com to get our books, toys, Fair Trade gifts. #indiebookstore
