Thank you, EZ. You are right- this is right up my abbey. And these monks are legit. They follow the Rule of (St) Benedict, who my monks do, too.
Pretty limited hours. And sparse location (all the monasteries are- good places for witness protection program "clients"). But people travel to 'em- it's a day trip destination.
As far as pricing, it is a little steep, especially when shipping is added. But peeps know they are paying more to support the monks, who are up at 3AM and pray (chant the psalms) seven times a day.
I've given fleeting thought to joining but I don't have a chant- I'm too talkative, lol
Everyone has a talent/skill/gift from God.
He made me an outside salesman :)
I quite enjoyed exploring this Abbey, EZ. It's possible I could ship them something small in size, like my Dill Pickle Hot Sauce or something light like my monastery dried Shiitake & Oyster Mushrooms. And maybe I could explore their wholesale price for their Trail Mix. I'll order some first- if it's not superior, I don't carry it.
I help the monks but I expect excellence and usually get it!
Good find!
