Our story
“We should be able to drive there and back before lunch.”
Our one rule for every ingredient and every maker on these shelves. Ferndale Store has stood on Sheep Street since 1908, selling whatever the village needed. These days that means skincare made in the back room and home goods from makers we can name and visit.

“The facial oil replaced three expensive things on my shelf. Refilling my candle jar in the shop felt oddly momentous.”

“This is what shops used to be like. Everything has a story and none of it feels like marketing.”

The shop on Sheep Street
