There are some businesses that simply offer a service, and then there are places that build an entire world. Beardsgaard Barbers is proudly the latter.
Owned by Natalie and Tyler Anderson, Beardsgaard’s story begins with a leap of faith, a shared love of the service industry, and a belief that even in the suburbs, there’s always room for something a little different. After years of working side by side (and Tyler eventually joining Natalie in the barbering world), the duo opened their own shop in 2014 with a goal to create something that felt true to who they were.
From the beginning, Beardsgaard set out to be more than a barbershop. It’s a beard-focused, unapologetically queer and nerdy space where individuality is celebrated and community comes first. And while some wondered if that vision might be “too specific,” Natalie and Tyler knew better because the community they built showed up, and kept showing up.
Over the years, Beardsgaard has grown alongside the people who walk through its doors. What started as a two-person operation has evolved into a vibrant, ever-expanding collective of barbers, creatives, and loyal clients who have shaped the shop into what it is today.
Beardsgaard Barbers is a reminder that small businesses don’t have to fit a mold to thrive, in fact, sometimes the more unique, the better.
What started as a small idea six years ago has grown into something truly special. For Gerrit Husar, owner of Farmdog Flowers that growth is rooted in creativity, connection, and a deep appreciation for the community that helped bring his vision to life.
A pivotal chapter in that journey came in 2021, when Farmdog Flowers joined the Batavia Boardwalk Shops. That season gave Gerrit the opportunity to connect directly with customers, introduce his work to the community, and begin shaping the future of his business in a physical space.
Since then, Farmdog Flowers has continued to grow, now rooted in a permanent storefront in Batavia. The shop offers retail flowers and local delivery, along with wedding and event floral services, hands-on workshops, and a thoughtfully curated selection of gifts and home décor. It’s a space designed to inspire, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply bringing a little beauty into your everyday life.
Gerrit now runs Farmdog Flowers alongside an incredible team, creating floral designs that feel both intentional and artful. From everyday arrangements to full-scale wedding florals, each piece reflects a thoughtful approach and a genuine love for the craft.
At its core, Farmdog Flowers is about more than flowers, it’s about celebrating life’s moments, big and small, and creating something memorable for each person who walks through the door.
Five years ago Betime “Bea” Elezi and Gzime Sadiku, owners of WindMill Grille & Pizzeria, turned a moment of uncertainty into a welcoming culinary destination in Downtown Batavia. When everything came to a halt in 2020, they leaned into what they knew best, family and tradition, and opened a restaurant rooted in both. Inspired by their Macedonian heritage and the small-town spirit of the community they now call home, WindMill Grille & Pizzeria is a place where guests are invited to walk in as friends and leave as family.
At the heart of WindMill Grille is a menu that blends modern American and Italian influences with the warmth of home cooking. Guests will find fresh, homemade bread made from their grandmother’s cherished recipe, dishes inspired by memories of helping their mom in the kitchen, and flavors that feel familiar yet elevated. Whether it’s Sunday brunch, everyday dining, catering a gathering, or hosting events for any occasion, WindMill Grille serves up fresh ingredients and genuine hospitality.
WindMill Grille & Pizzeria continues to bring people together one memorable meal at a time. They plan to crafting connection over great food in the heart of Downtown Batavia for many years to come!
Frank and Diane Mercadante, together with their good friend and partner Oliver Bulley and a dedicated team, are the people behind Sturdy Shelter Brewing. Family-oriented at heart, Frank and Diane are parents to six and grandparents to thirteen, with a lifelong commitment to community building—particularly through youth ministry and teaching.
Frank began home-brewing at the age of 40 as a hobby, crafting complex and interesting beers to share with friends and family at gatherings. In 2018, they met fellow brewer Oliver Bulley, and what began as a friendship soon became the foundation for Sturdy Shelter Brewing.
Oliver’s spirit of service and background in hospitality, combined with the team’s shared passion for community, helped bring the vision to life: a welcoming space where people can come together, feel at home, and enjoy expertly crafted beer—a true sturdy shelter.
The taproom opened in 2022 as an independent community craft brewery, rooted in personal service and a commitment to quality. The name Sturdy Shelter comes from the verse, “A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one, finds a treasure.” Frank, Diane and Oliver hope that when you visit Sturdy Shelter Brewing, you'll find a warm and welcoming place that feels like home.
Meet Kelly Desmond, owner of Desmond Brown. In 2009, Kelly made her very first pillow as a birthday gift for a friend. That one pillow quickly turned into two, and before she knew it, she was creating again and again.
With her background in retail and interior design, it felt natural to build a full line of handcrafted pillows, home décor, and gifts. Today, Desmond Brown is known for handmade and curated products that are colorful, durable, nostalgic, and fun. Kelly loves knowing her pillows become part of her customers’ stories, from new homes and weddings to everyday moments that make a house feel like home.
Kelly’s small business journey took a big step forward in 2020 when she became part of the inaugural class of the Batavia Boardwalk Shops. From there, Desmond Brown found a permanent home inside the Wilson Street Mercantile, where Kelly continues to share her creations with shoppers. This winter, the Mercantile celebrates its fifth year in Downtown Batavia, a milestone Kelly is proud to be part of.
As her business has grown, so has her product line. In recent years, Kelly has expanded beyond pillows to include smaller items like bookmarks, coffee mugs, Christmas ornaments, and other home décor pieces. She also has a wholesale business that supplies over 450 bookstores and boutiques around the world with her handmade goods. Each item is thoughtfully designed and made with the same care and creativity that started it all.

Haylie B’s is known for its small-batch, scratch-made treats that make every occasion a little sweeter. Specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes, Haylie brings creativity and care to every dessert she makes.
What began as a simple hobby quickly turned into a full-fledged passion. A proud self-taught baker and cake decorator, Haylie didn’t attend culinary school but instead built her business through dedication, experimentation, and love for the craft. After spending time working in a few commercial bakeries, Haylie honed her skills in both decorating and kitchen management—learning from her peers and growing as a baker along the way.
As a 2020 Boardwalk Shops alum, she looks back fondly on that first season—when uncertainty during the pandemic was met with overwhelming community support. That experience helped shape her business and remains a reminder of how strong and supportive Batavia can be.
Now, nearly four and a half years into running her own shop, Haylie continues to find joy in the creative freedom her work allows. Originally from Yorkville and now a proud Batavia resident, Haylie loves being part of a close-knit community that truly shows up for its small businesses.
Behind the doors of Red Hive Market, you’ll find a vibrant mix of vintage treasures, up-cycled furniture, and unique home accessories—all thoughtfully curated to spark creativity and community connection. But what makes this downtown Batavia gem truly special is the story behind it.
Owners Bridget Johnson (a former social worker) and Tom Freeman (a retired fire chief) first began Red Hive Market as a home-based venture. What started with garage sales and driveway pop-ups quickly grew into something much bigger.
The turning point came during a simple breakfast outing in downtown Batavia. Tom spotted a For Rent sign at 6 W. Wilson Street and encouraged Bridget to take the leap and turn her dream into a brick-and-mortar reality.
From the beginning, Red Hive Market’s vision has been about more than just retail. Bridget and Tom wanted to create a space where many talents could come together under one roof. Their mission: to build community, collaborate with local nonprofits, and provide opportunities for artisans to shine.
When the pandemic hit, Red Hive Market not only survived but thrived—thanks to the incredible support of the Batavia community. And in 2022, they expanded next door to 4 W. Wilson Street, connecting the two storefronts to showcase even more talented makers and curators.
Today, Red Hive Market is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., welcoming shoppers to discover one-of-a-kind finds and connect with the people who make them. Stay connected with Red Hive Market on Facebook, Instagram, and their website for the latest arrivals, artisan features, and community events.
Seapeak Style was built on a dream that started in a college apartment with a simple idea: graphic tees can be more than just clothes, they can hold memories.
Owner Grace Schultz began printing designs by hand while studying marketing and entrepreneurship, driven by a love for creating pieces that made people feel connected, nostalgic, and joyful. What started as a small side project grew into market pop-ups, then a season in the Batavia Boardwalk Shops program, and eventually into a full storefront in downtown Batavia inside the Wilson Street Mercantile.
From the very beginning, Grace’s goal has been clear: to create a space where people can find pieces that spark happiness and tell their story. Seapeak Style is not just about what you wear, it is about the feeling you carry with you when you put it on.
Every detail in the shop reflects that mission. Bright pink walls, playful displays, and interactive touches make the store feel less like traditional retail and more like a place to make memories. Whether you are walking in for the first time or stopping by as a regular, the purpose remains the same: to spread joy through design, community, and creativity.

Meet Kelly Vida of Zen Loft Collective
Kelly is a passionate advocate for women’s health, specializing in pre and postnatal fitness, perimenopause, and fertility.
Her journey began in 2022 when, pregnant with her daughter, Kelly discovered her deep passion for supporting women through fitness and wellness during pregnancy. She continued teaching throughout her second pregnancy and experienced the empowering strength of an unmedicated birth with her son. This transformative experience fueled her belief that every woman deserves the birth of her dreams, and that yoga and fitness are powerful tools in achieving that.
In 2024, Kelly opened Zen Loft Collective in Batavia, expanding her offerings to include support for women navigating perimenopause. She is dedicated to empowering women through one of life’s biggest transitions, and as she explored the profound impact of hormone health on menopause, she naturally extended her expertise to fertility. With a deep commitment to helping women conceive, Kelly combines her personal experience as a mother of two with her professional knowledge to offer compassionate and holistic guidance.
Kelly’s mission is to support women at every stage of their reproductive and hormonal journey, ensuring they feel strong, informed, and empowered. Through her work, she hopes to help women not only achieve their wellness goals but also experience the transformative power of embracing their health throughout every phase of life.
Meet Jo Colagiacomi and Jay Weichun, owners of New Moon Vegan!
New Moon Vegan is a community-centered bakery and café that serves sweet and savory plant-based treats, with a focus on supporting local farms and makers. The bakery is run by married couple Jo and Jay, inspired by the Italian-American pastries of their youth in Staten Island, NY.
New Moon is becoming a well-known destination in the greater Chicago region- while plenty of frequent visitors are vegan or allergic to dairy/eggs, many customers are simply fans of their delightful pastries. In fact, New Moon Vegan was recently selected for the Illinois Office of Tourism’s Illinois Made program, which celebrates the diversity of small businesses across the state, and supports them by encouraging travel to all regions of Illinois.
Jo has always loved baking, since helping make cookies and cakes in her Nana’s kitchen as a child. Jo and Jay worked for over a decade in universities, and when the time came to pivot careers in 2020, they both knew it was time to fulfill Jo’s longtime dream of starting a bakery. Many of the bakery’s components are made in-house- from their house-made seitan and butter to the almond milk in their butter! Come on in and see what seasonal specialties are in their pastry case.

The unique character shines through in its preserved wooden interior, the visible hayloft trap door, and the cozy scale of the original carriage house.

It’s not unusual to see dogs lounging by the table, complete with bandanas and water bowls, as their owners enjoy a beer or a glass of wine. This thoughtful touch adds to the warm, community-oriented spirit of the place.
Gammon Coach House is where friendships are fostered, milestones are celebrated, and everyone feels at home.

Meet Lucy Martinez of 63rd St Apothecary
Lucy’s journey began in the kitchen, learning from her mother—an incredible cook who could turn simple ingredients into something extraordinary. By age 10, she was cooking full meals, experimenting with flavors, and constantly modifying recipes. Little did she know, this same passion for mixing and creating would lead her to crafting natural soaps, lotions, and herbal remedies.
For years, Lucy has been on a self-healing journey, becoming a Reiki Healer and Shaman Apprentice. Her fascination with herbal remedies led her to create tinctures and salves, replacing over-the-counter solutions with natural alternatives. She loved the idea of making skincare products free from harsh chemicals, using organic ingredients tailored to nourish the skin. Soon, she was sharing her creations, and people were amazed at the results—healthier, softer skin with just a small amount of her handcrafted products.
Every item Lucy creates is made with love, intention, and infused with Reiki and Shamanic energy to bring peace and harmony. She uses ethically sourced, organic ingredients, with most products being vegan. From hand soaps and body lotions to sugar scrubs and body washes, her collection offers something for everyone—including those with sensitive skin. Her fragrances are free from phthalates, parabens, and carcinogens, ensuring a clean, safe experience.
Beyond skincare, Lucy also crafts organic soy, coconut, and beeswax candles that burn cleanly and fill any space with lasting fragrance. For those who love a hands-on experience, she offers candle-making sessions to create custom scents.

Kiss The Sky became a reality in 1996, after having been a dream for about 30 years or so, when the independent retail compact disc and vinyl record store opened up in the Windmill Shopping Center located on Randall Road in Batavia.
For the first 10 years on Randall Road, Kiss The Sky became a home to music lovers of all shapes and sizes, and belonging to ages and genres of all kinds. The store was unique in the Chicagoland area in that it featured a built in professional sound stage, which the store still features in its current home of the past 12 years in Downtown Batavia, and now includes a sound system that many live music venues would love to have themselves.
Over the years, more than 2,500 full band or solo artist performances have taken place on the Are You Experienced Stage of Kiss The Sky.
The Kiss has grown, shrunk and grown and has remained a key component in the world of the Independent Record Store. There are approximately 2,000 indie stores currently operating in the US today and less than 75% of them have been around for longer than 25 years. Kiss the Sky has been in operation for nearly 28 years now.
Steve, the owner, was born in Salzburg, Austria and, because of being an Army Brat for the first 15 years of his life, has lived in Frankfurt and Munich, Germany, and Arizona, Virginia, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota and Illinois. The Fox River Valley of Illinois is his favorite living spot on the planet and will undoubtedly remain so until the game is over.
Since he was four years old and watched Elvis' first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show with his Mom, to seeing his favorite band The Kinks for the first time when he was 12, to seeing Hendrix and Cream in 1968, and continuing to attend music concerts and festivals all over the US and parts of Europe, his life's focus has been family first and music second. And what he's always done to put food on the table and to keep a roof above the family's head has been a close third.
Music is love ... Steve loves music ... Kiss The Sky is music!
