The Classic Box
The August SimplyNCgoods box included items from 5 small businesses who call the western portion of North Carolina home.
What were the contents of the May 2024 SimplyNCgoods Classic Box?
Black Powder Coffee out of Mooresville, NC provided a package of their “Frying Pan Tower Blend” dark roast coffee. Their coffees are roasted in small batches when order are placed, and they have a wide variety of flavors available. We loved that the “Frying Pan Tower Blend” gives back to support the preservation of the former US Coast Guard light station of the same name located on the NC coast.

lumenCLT from Charlotte, NC provided a tin of their hand-poured, soy wax candles for each Classic Box. We worked together to include one of their top-selling scents. There are a variety of scents and sizes available on their website, and they even offer custom-labeled candles for special events. lumenCLT – website, Facebook, Instagram
A vivid art print of the Linn Cove Viaduct in the fall was provided by Allyson Murphy Art. Allyson currently resides in Boone, NC and enjoys creating art based on her natural surroundings. We chose this art print because the Linn Cove Viaduct is considered a feat of engineering and is unique to North Carolina. This portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway was the last to be completed, with a focus on preserving the natural habitat. We love how Allyson’s art print brings this special location to life.

Wutta Nut! Pecans provided a snack pack of their Butter & Sea Salt pecans for the most recent SimplyNCgoods box. Wutta Nut! Pecans provides pecans that are slow-oven roasted and seasoned to allow the deep-roasted pecan flavor to shine. They are made in small batches, with no preservatives or artificial ingredients, and are available in a variety of sizes and flavors. Wutta Nut! Pecans – website, Facebook, Instagram
A bundle from Papa Bear Original, out of Sylva, NC, rounded out the August 2024 Classic Box. Papa Bear Original specializes in producing premium organic products for beard and skin care. We chose to include a specially-made bundle of their beard oil and beard balm in this box, and were excited to learn that these products can also be used for general hair/skin care for those who are beardless.
