"Fashion designer Mieka May and her partner Prescott McCarthy were visiting a local permaculture garden when they stumbled across a vacant building just down the street from La Copine, "It was like we were being called to take this property and do our thing,” explains the soft-spoken yet infectiously determined May, who opened Moon Wind Trading Co. in the space in April 2017.

Now, the trading post hums with local artists and makers, a collection of antique wood shelves and tables displaying their wares. May’s own clothing designs, made out of all-natural and repurposed materials, hang on racks above worn kilim rugs. A tumbleweed chandelier glows in one corner.

There’s Snakeroot Apothecary tinctures from herbalist Rachel Burgos and Aphrodeedee soaps made by DeeDee Tierney. Plus, macramé cuffs from jewelry artist Esther Kim, Urthen pottery by ceramicist Caitlin Deane and sculptures by artist Angel Chen.
