The Sustainable Business Directory holds 625 businesses and 105 organizations at the end of week 8. It is rewarding to see all the hard work coming together as we approach the end of the summer. Something that I have not mentioned yet is the organizations sector of the directory. The website also has the ability to search through organizations within Central Ohio. The organizations included range from nonprofits to governmentally owned entities. For example, we have included BalletMet. They are a 501c3 organization, meaning not for profit, and are included in the “nonprofit” category.  Furthermore, BalletMet is also a Green Spot member. The organizations associated with Green Spot have been given a tag titled “Green Spot Organization.” As I have mentioned in previous entries, the purpose of such tags is to allow Simply Living to maintain a healthy and long standing relationship with a like-minded organization. This week, I did some research and entries into the directory of microbreweries in Central Ohio. Prior to my research, I was familiar with a few of the well known microbreweries in Columbus such as Land-Grant, Seventh Son, Barley’s, and Wolf’s Ridge. However, this gave me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the other local microbreweries in Central Ohio. One I found that resonates with the mission of Simply Living is called Henmick Farm & Brewery. This particular brewery is located alongside Alum Creek in Delaware, Ohio and has a unique approach to microbreweries. The brewery is located on the Henmick family farm and the family  allows their guests to wander through the farm. This approach allows for the guests to engage and appreciate nature while still having fun with friends. Simply Living wants the community to coincide with the environment while also supporting the local economy. Henmick Farm & Brewery does exactly that with their microbrewery.
