WHAT'S ON THE SHELVES

WELCOME TO THE MARKET @ REBUS WORKS!

Rebus Works started out as a Saturday Farmer's Market 8 years ago, but now we have a weekly Market where we sell locally grown and made dairy, meats, produce, and products.

Take a look at what's currently on our shelves, see who will be at the Saturday Market, or become a vendor.

BLUE THUMB FARMS

Blue Thumb is the personal passion of Mary Cove and Allison Culbreth — two female scientists and hydroponic farmers who met in graduate school at North Carolina State University.

Together, they launched Blue Thumb with the idea of applying their scientific expertise to create sustainable, fresh produce for their local community. Let Blue Thumb Farms show you a fresh way to grow.

OAK CITY COFFEE ROASTERS

Oak City Coffee would like to bring you closer to the source of your coffee by introducing you to your growers and harvesters.

Your coffee started with some rightfully proud farmers, and getting it from their farm to your cup is a captivating story; they believe it's worth telling.

 

SMALL SEED BAR

A passion project turned business, for wife - and - husband team, Holly and Shane MacKinnon. They saw the need for a simple, real food protein bar. Small Seed came about after founders were tired of compromising their health for a quick on-the-go snack or post-workout meal.

These protein bars are created solely to give people the satisfaction they crave with all the necessary nutrients to provide optimal health. All bars are made from wholesome ingredients provided by mother nature.

TINY FARM

Tiny Farm is Shonna Greenwell (Rebus Works' owner) and Tom "Art" Mekus' garden behind the Rebus Works building. Some of the produce items for sale at The Market come from this tiny plot of land, such as okra, tomatoes, potatoes, and fresh herbs.

LO & BEHOLD NATURALS

Lo & Behold is a 100% natural body care company based in Durham, NC.

Through local partnerships with NC farmers and producers, they bring you sustainable and exotic botanicals.

Their products are never tested on animals and are 100% free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum, and synthetic ingredients (like artificial fragrances and preservatives).‍
