Mountain Lake Consignment & Engraving Shop is a local business with a social purpose that makes a positive economic, social, and environmental impact in our community. The Consignment & Engraving Shops objective is to train individuals enrolled in employment services to learn job readiness skills that contribute to employability in a paid community setting. The shop offers a friendly, inexpensive experience of shopping for a variety of items such as clothing, home goods and engraving services.
Mountain Weavers’ Farm Store supports area farmers throughout Essex County and provides fresh local food to our community. Seasonal fruits and vegetables, bread, eggs, dairy products, meats and more all from area producers are carried in the Store.
Hand crafted baskets made by our weavers’ program, as well as produce and value-added food products grown and produced by our horticulture program are featured. Both weaving and horticulture programs provide pre-vocational services to build social skills and work skills, preparing the individuals supported for competitive employment.
The Farm Store itself also provides valuable work experience for individuals in both programs.
