A WAY WITH WORDS: A Poetic Venture
2023-12-13 19:00 - 20:30
In remembrance of the coffee houses of yore, where poets and the “wordsmiths” gathered to share the wonders their words might evoke, we launch our 2023 version of “the coffee house.” We are calling on all Poets, Writers, and Wordsmiths to read and share their poetry/writings in an accepting ambiance, with a laid back, albeit enthusiastic audience! Each reader is allowed 5 to 7 minutes. The doors open 6:30pm. Sign-ups are first in, first read. Admission is $5 for all. Coffee & snacks are available to purchase.

Our food comes from over 20 Certified Organic Farms and Growers. We favor locally grown Florida produce when available. Each week we have a different selection of Fruits, Veg, and Greens which keeps it Fun and Interesting, and also provides important nutritional variety in your diet.

How it Works
We have Five convenient locations for you to choose from, serving Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice. Curbside Pick-up times are Thursdays generally between 1:00pm – 4pm (see each location for specific times) with slightly longer hours at our downtown Sarasota location.

And for anyone Staying Home we are proud to be able to offer Home Doorstep Delivery of your Green Door baskets (delivery fee applies).
The food comes in our custom made Green Door Green Bags, designed to keep your food Fresh and your Greens from wilting. The special material keeps the air out, while still being breathable, and the thermal lining keeps your produce cool in your office or workplace until you get it home. Wide double-stitched straps go easily over your shoulder, as the produce filled bags are often heavy. Every week, you bring back your clean empty bag and exchange it for a full one.
​Each week you will get a different selection of Fresh, Certified Organic Fruits, Vegetables, and Leafy Greens with fresh herbs like garlic, ginger, parsley, etc. once or twice a month. We fill your orders with as much local and Florida grown certified organic produce as we can, based on season and availability, so there is a lot of variety.

Urs means “wedding” and in Sufism, death anniversaries of mystics are celebrated as wedding ceremonies. For them, death is an occasion to rejoice, not to mourn. They call it Urs (wedding) and sometimes Visal (union) because death of a Sufi saint is realized as the most mystical merging with the Divine.
