WELCOME! Dear Friends and Neighbors, Welcome to the seventh edition of the Think Local First Member Directory. The source for local and independent businesses within the greater Santa Cruz Community.
Why Local ? There are many great reasons to support a vigorous local economy by purchasing from Santa Cruz County independently owned businesses. Each dollar spent locally, rather than from national chain stores, generates up to three times the economic benefit to our community. Small business are the largest employer, enhance local character, reduce environmental impact and invest in our community’s future.
Create Community Santa Cruz County is a rich and diverse community. Local one of a kind businesses are unique and are part of our collective character. Small businesses select and produce products based on the needs and wishes of local customers. As our communities countrywide become increasingly homogenized with national chains, Santa Cruz County can preserve its distinctive identity and benefit economically when people purchase from independent, local businesses. Please use this directory to Shop the Logo at Think Local First businesses and contribute to building local prosperity within our beautiful coastal community.
Kind regards, Jill Sollitto Board Member Modern Life Home and Garden

HISTORY A Brief History of Think Local First In the spring of 2007, a handful of Santa Cruz business owners united to voice a common concern: the threat to local businesses posed by proliferating chain stores and easy online shopping. In an era when downtown shopping districts increasingly fall victim to homogenous chains and franchises, they collectively recognized the need to promote and strengthen our independent and local business community. Over the course of 2007, Think Local First – County of Santa Cruz was formed around the shared desire to “promote and sustain economic vitality while preserving the unique character of Santa Cruz County.” The logic was that if the community rallied around independent and locally-owned businesses, everyone would benefit: a ‘local’ economy would prosper and circulate money throughout the community, in turn promoting local spending and, ultimately, contributing to the vibrancy and health of Santa Cruz County. In the early stages of TLF, folks volunteered their time and efforts without any guarantee of affecting much change. The TLF movement was largely fueled by inspiration , found in stories of community support for independent businesses such as Kepler’s Books in nearby Menlo Park. In 2005, Kepler’s Books, a beloved and renowned bookseller located only 50 miles from Santa Cruz, had abruptly shut its doors, having succumbed to competing chains and online book retailers. In an unexpected outpouring of support, the Menlo Park community came forth with donations, a viable business strategy, and a new board of directors. Within six weeks Kepler’s Books re-opened and remains today a vibrant hub of Peninsula cultural life. Think Local First – County of Santa Cruz has seen a comparable surge in community awareness and support. Its first public meeting, hosted by a half-dozen members, took place at Bookshop Santa Cruz in October 2007. Now the TLF Steering Committee meets bi-monthly at Caffe Pergolesi to share ideas and continue the momentum of the movement. This year’s Think Local First directory marks the organization’s growth to 450-plus members, all of whom understand the link between a unique, thriving local economy and a unique, thriving town. It’s a simple concept, really: what goes around comes around. It’s about creating our community – together.

THE BIG PICTURE By Peter Beckmann, Beckmann’s Bakery and Board member Last time I went shopping for my favorite hand lotion, I had an interesting experience. First, the lotions were hard to find, and lacking a helpful store clerk, I wandered through half the store before realizing that my lotion had been replaced by lower quality but equally expensive lotions. And secondly, in order to take advantage of the advertised “special” price, I needed to join the “club” first. Although benign on the surface, this little story sheds light on some important changes we encounter in the national chain stores: • The modern chain store layout makes us to walk by all those items we did NOT plan on buying, before we get to the section with the everyday staples (bread, milk, eggs). • Chain stores are staffed to a minimum. And since employee pay is kept to a minimum, turnover is high, and knowledgeable employees are harder to find. • There is increasing pressure from national chains on their suppliers to deliver their wares at rock bottom prices. Many of these vendors, committed to paying their employees livable wages and benefits, refuse to reduce their prices, and their products eventually are replaced by lower cost, lower quality, and higher margin products. The alternative lies in the ever stronger movement towards local commerce, where shopkeepers choose their products based on their own and their customers’ preferences and not solely for profit reasons. The Think Local movement, promoted by umbrella organizations like BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies) and AMIBA (American Independent Business Alliance) currently comprises some 41,000 independent and locally owned businesses nationwide. It continues to grow thanks to discriminating personal consumption choices by all of us. By shopping “locally owned” we are creating our communities together.

10 REASONS TO SHOP LOCAL Why shop at a locally owned business first? The following 10 reasons show how money spent at local businesses is reinvested in your community creating economic vitality and helping the community maintain its unique appeal. 1. More Money Recirculates in the Local Economy When you shop at locally owned businesses rather than national chains, more money stays in the community because local businesses frequently purchase from other local businesses. Purchasing local goods and services helps grow area businesses as well as the local tax base. 2. Unique Businesses Create Character and Prosperity The distinctive character of Santa Cruz County is what brought us here and keeps us here. Independent and locally-owned businesses are an integral part of the uniqueness of our area. 3. Environmental Impact is Reduced Local businesses purchase more of their inventory from other local businesses and require less transportation. They are usually located in the town or city center rather than the outskirts. This reduces urban sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. 4. Most New Jobs are Provided by Locally Owned Businesses Small, locally owned businesses are the largest employers in the United States. 5. Nonprofits Receive Greater Support Local business owners donate more to local charities than national chains. 6. Customer Service is Better Local businesses often hire people with more specialized product or service expertise. Local business owners and employees live in our local neighborhoods and create a more personal shopping experience. 7. Local Business Owners Invest in Community Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the city’s future. 8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and utilize public services more efficiently than chain stores. 9. Competition and Diversity Leads to More and Better Choices A marketplace consisting of a number of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 10. Local-ized Economies Attract Entrepreneurism and a Skilled Workforce A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasinglyhomogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

TLF Events
Second Annual Local Food Festival
Agriculture is the foundation upon which all economies are built. Fortunately, Santa Cruz County has two incredibly strong agriculture communities from which we can build our economy. One community serves the world’s hunger for fresh fruits, greens, and vegetables; the other serves our hunger for “food with its farmer’s face on it!” That we have such abundance is reason to celebrate, and what better way to celebrate than at Think Local First’s annual “Eat Local First Food Festival” Saturday, October 11 at the Monterey Bay Certified Farmers market at Cabrillo College from 9am to 12noon. (This farmers market has been named California’s “Best ” and America’s “Second Best” by Farmland Trust).
Meet the top names in Santa Cruz County locallyowned restaurants, caterers, ice creameries, and confectioneries, and enjoy a free taste of the wares. Mix with fellow Santa Cruz County foodies and enjoy the good times music of Dave Ray and Island Breeze. Thinking local first begins with eating local first, so join Think Local First and eat local first! By Michael Olson
