A store that supports community-based media
contribute&support
World-wide, news venues are changing; they have become corporate and centralized. Community-based media is fighting back, and there are innovative efforts to raise the funds required so that real local news can be reported. At MyValleysun.com we know that many of our readers may be reluctant to make a financial contribution to support something that might seem to be intangible. That’s why we started the BullMarket which offers you a chance to purchase some of the other products we produce from the Wildcraft Forest.
If you purchase art, craft and our wild tea blends all made right here in the Monashee, you will help us produce MyValleySun.com
