You find yourself sitting in a 1960's A frame masterpiece, the Lux Lodge. Sweet Laurel Bakery's Cookies & Mylk workshop is about to begin, as you sip locally roasted, organic cold brew coffee from Bent Penny Coffee.
The workshop began with four vegan cookie demonstrations by the gals from Sweet Laurel Bakery, followed by Brooke's (Renew Juicery) personal tips for how to make her world class almond milk at home.
