Meet and greet some local artists, purchase your own copy, be entered to win a basket of State Line Distillery products, and learn more about The Shallot and The Layered Onion.

The latest effort from Dane Buy Local to continue supporting the mental health needs in the food & beverage systems was a collaboration that included REAP Food Group, The Layered Onion, Dane County Food Collective, and Dane Buy Local to produce the May publication of “The Shallot” A Journal of Mental Health, Art, and Literature.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Dane Buy Local is holding the official Launch Party for The Shallot at 4pm CT at State Line Distillery. Come celebrate mental health and honor the work included in this edition of The Shallot.

Let's shine a light on an important topic that affects so many of us. Whether practicing self-care, seeking therapy, or simply checking in on a friend, let's prioritize our mental well-being this month and beyond. Remember, it's okay not to be okay—reaching out for help is a sign of strength.
