We've been adding a lot of new products lately, and since I'm all about the data, the conditionally-color-coded results on the spreadsheet I've affectionately dubbed the "Clam Gram" have been shouting something out to me: the smaller the seed, the greater the harvest. This sounds counterintuitive, but it is the case every time. Sorrel seeds are minuscule, roughly between the size of the period and comma on my keyboard, yet, they yield a harvest (even after only a few weeks) that is many tens of times more than the seeds that have been sown. Pea, not so much! If you've ever eaten peas, you know how big the seeds are. Pea seeds are huge compared to sorrel, however, the harvest we get from our trays of pea is not even double the weight of the seeds we sow. So, why mention it? Because it is symbolic of life in general. Like sowing pea seeds, sometimes we invest a lot into what yields very little, however, at times, like with sowing sorrel seeds, we may offer just a tiny bit of ourselves to something and end up getting much more than we expect in return. This unexpected return is exactly where we found ourselves when we started following Abide Coffeehouse almost a year ago on Facebook and Instagram. Abide is a good neighbor and if being a good neighbor in your local community is important to you, keep reading! This is the story of how we sowed a tiny seed and received—and witnessed—a great harvest in our local community.
