SEPTEMBER UPDATE
Grounded Sun Kimchi has decided to forgo markets and pop ups for the remainder of the year.
Last year’s amazing community response and support has made it especially difficult to make this decision, but we promise we are not closing shop forever. Thank you for your patience.
These days I am learning to manage several newly diagnosed autoimmune conditions while continuing to serve the public in my fulltime job at the library. I was hopeful that treatment would have me farther along in my progress by now. This is a slow and non-linear process, a major life change, and a test of my patience. Unfortunately I don’t have the energy or physical capability for the labor-intensive and time-consuming process of making kimchi right now, on top of the amount of work that goes into doing markets. So I will continue to prioritize my healing, my family, and adapting and balancing the best I can.
In the meantime, I encourage you to support your local libraries. Never has there been a more crucial time to do so, and the best way to do that is to get a library card and use it. 🙂📚
Stay safe, stay vigilant, be well. Take care of yourself, and care of each other. Reggie and I hope to see you again soon.
