a restart for recreative good

You may have heard it through the grapevine

(Cue the California Raisins)  in 2026, we’re reviving recreative good, our ethical + sustainable tech arm. In case you’ve not been privy to our blogs or incessant shouting on various social platforms, you can read more about the venture here.

In case you’re in need of a refresher, recreative good is our ethical tech arm where we provide design, web, and photo services to sustainable businesses that drive a more positive connection between business and consumer, and don’t prey on the data of others to get our point across. 

We’re happy to announce that each year we will be accepting four businesses (one per quarter, more info on this to come) into the recreative good program and wouldn’t you know, the business for Q1 of 2026 has a storied + deeeeeeeep history and is run by two of the kindest humans I could have met. 

Riverside Farm Stand is a community staple in Maine. Having existed for *literally* hundreds of years, and been passed down from generation to generation, they are truly the epitome of a sustainable Maine business. Not to mention that Ryan Tuttle got his degree in sustainable agriculture, and is a 12th generation farmer, working with his wife and parents (among many many others) to run a successful and community oriented place to grab veggies, flowers, homemade pies, sweet treats, and their world famous donuts.

In a location where big chain grocery stores are few and far between (I grew up in a town with at least five giant chain grocery stores – flash forward to today where the town I live in doesn’t have a grocery store at all) farms are the bread and butter of sustainable, delicious, and nutritious groceries. In some cases, farms are the closest thing to a traditional grocery store that many people have here, and for that, we are thankful.
