Milkweed Mercantile Runs Solely on Sun and Wind Power

"Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, Rutledge, MO (PRWEB) September 8, 2008 -- Sustainability is the key for the Milkweed Mercantile, a new business running solely on sun and wind power. Sharing everything from artisan bread recipes to the secrets of organic gardening, the Milkweed Mercantile, an Eco General Store, B&B and Organic Café, is housed in an elegant two-story strawbale building. Setting new criteria for businesses calling themselves "green," the Mercantile sells eco-friendly goods, hosts guests in a totally green B&B and presents seminars and retreats for those seeking a more sustainable way of life.

Brimming with handcrafted artisan goods and carefully considered eco wares, the Eco General Store fills a need not met by other "green" emporia.

Visitors to the Mercantile, whether in person or online, will be treated to a decidedly unstuffy version of green, where learning and enjoying life are given a high priority."
