This episode has it all, honesty, humor, and holiday shopping ideas! You don't want to miss it!
Nikki and Anna were born and raised in good ol’ Minnesota. Growing up, they were taught that being a girl means you have all the power in the world. They grew up hands-on and learned that hard work is a way of life. For example, they built a wood strip canoe and rebuilt a 1970 VW Beetle. That drive to work hard helped develop their creativity.
Their company grew out of a creative project for Anna's home. They inherited a band saw, and Anna saw it as an opportunity for a new mantel piece. Thanks to social media, their lives changed forever and Hagen and Oats was born. The original design remains at the heart of their company and their logo. They make hand-crafted, Minnesota inspired wood art. You can find them on social media, our website, in their shop, and in over 40 locations across the country!
Hagen and Oats is also one of six brands included within the local shop Six For Good where six friends came together with the idea to do a little good. From mental health awareness and support for LGBTQ youth to sustainable water and ending sex trafficking, these brands are doing more than just selling great products - they are making a difference in their communities and in the world.
