Giving Earth 1 Year Anniversary Celebrations

It's been a year since the Giving Earth opened our doors in downtown Ashland. We've had some great times and some bad times. We originally opened at 47 East Main on December 17th of 2011 with only seven local vendors and a small variety of our own goods.

In late July our shop and location experienced heavy water damage from a storm and we were faced with two options; we could close and walk away with no loss, but no gain. We also had the choice to try and raise some revenue or spend out of pocket cash and remodel a new place at 37 West Main, nearly a block and a half up the road.

We chose to continue to pursue our dreams and spend our own out of pocket money to renovate the new location at 37 West Main St. We had several weeks of downtime that were costly with deposits, moving, remodeling, etc. But we did it! We came back looking more beautiful than ever! Our attitude changed, or shop looked fabulous, and the community began praising our efforts.

Currently we have 40 outstanding local vendors with a variety of incredible goods and a larger selection of our own products! From natural & organic baked goods, gourmet syrups, cotton candy, local honeys and other foods, to outstanding handcrafted jewelry (steampunk, sterling silver & gemstone), original art, eco-friendly and green bath and body care, and other fine gifts for the home, body, mind & spirit. We've got you covered for any gift!

We are trying our hardest to achieve our goals of keeping our doors open and eventually expanding with an onsite bakery (organic & stone-baked), and cooler units for organic dairy and naturally raised meats.

We are inviting the community of Ashland to come out and show your support on our 1st Anniversary. Let us and other small shops in downtown Ashland know that they have your support. We can't do it without your help. :) Together we can bring our downtown back!

Our Fist Anniversary Celebrations will be held on Saturday, December 15th from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. We will have live music, lots of tasty samples, special holiday gift baskets, exclusive 1 day only sales, and tons of local holiday gifts for last minute shoppers.


Music lineup for our 1st Anniversary Celebrations:
12:00 pm - 1:30 pm: The Jeff Ritz Band from Ashland, OH
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Jake Lahmon & Derek Swingle from Heath, OH

Stop in, enjoy some tasty food, our relaxing atmosphere, and browse an incredible variety of locally produced & high quality goods.
