Local businesses are currently offering basic food and household items such as eggs, butter, milk, bread and some packaged foods and personal products. Some of the businesses are Garden in Thyme, UPI and Bear Tracks Restaurant in Ferndale; By The Bay in Pike Bay, The Shops at 84 Main and Cindy Lou’s in Lion’s Head.
