Our Green Chamber Marketplace was a success! Thank you to all of our special vendors who came to the market to inform all of us on how to be more sustainable and eco-friendly in honor of Plastic Free July.
We learned about everything from solar roofing, to eco-friendly body products, to what products can be traded out for more environmentally friendly options. There were visuals, props, pamphlets, and even fans for this very hot day!
If you weren’t able to make it to our marketplace, don’t worry, just reach out to any of the tagged vendors for more information on how you can be more sustainable!

Celebrate and learn more about what it means to be sustainable! We`re partnering again with the North Florida Green Chamber to bring their Green Marketplace back to RAM!

Now in its 10th year, Eco Relics is passionate about sustainability, creative design, and the art of repurposing. @phi_ecosalon is also another great business that is taking hair care to the next level. They are an eco salon that uses the most sustainably produced and non-toxic products, offers a refill station, and recently held a small event about the lifecycle of Monarch Butterflies!
Other special vendors joining us are the North Florida TPO/Clean Fuels Coalition, Climate First Bank, Breaking Ground Sustainability/My Sustainability Officer, North Florida Green Chamber Solar Collective, and A1A Solar 💚

It`s officially the first day of Summer ☀️
This Saturday, June 22nd, we`re gearing up and celebrating with our Summer Kick-off; Tie-Dye Block Party! Wear your best tie-dye and enjoy the vibes. We`ll have our food trucks, live music & entertainment, a special Photo Booth opp plus @seththestiltwalker on-site as we get ready for the Summer fun!

You may be familiar with the face you see here today, @teresacookart. Known for her "minis in a Mini," Teresa has been an artist at RAM for many years and is fully immersed in the art community through organizations like the @cummermuseum, @mocajax, and @ritzjax. Teresa is an outstanding watercolorist and a devoted mom to her son, Eli, who you might see from time to time at RAM.
When you support an artist, small business, or farmer, you never know just how much it means to them. On behalf of Teresa, we`d like to extend our support and share her GoFundMe page to help her hire a lawyer as she navigates her custody battle.
If you`d like to help, you can visit RAM this Saturday to see new work from Teresa or donate directly by clicking the link in our bio or heading to Teresa`s page, where you`ll also find her website. Any purchase or donation, big or small, will help get them closer to their goal.
From Teresa:
"Eli and I are deeply grateful for your support during this difficult time. With your help, we can work towards a more stable and positive future. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
With heartfelt thanks,
Teresa Cook"
The 126th Anniversary of Philippine Independence Day at RAM was a success! We had authentic Philippine food and desserts, crafts, books, and clothes by our Philippine vendors, custom jewelry, singing, and dancing (even with fire)! 🔥
We could not have done it without it all of our regular and special vendors who came out for this event! We are so happy to celebrate each and every one of you on this special day.
Thank you to our partner for this event @jaxfilipinos ! We could not have had this special day without you and thank you for the very special fundraiser gathering supplies for Philippine teachers in Jacksonville! We know that today, the love was spread. ❤️🍎✏️
Happy Philippine Independence Day!
