We also have a few special edition bags of coffee beans made by Cackalacky in conjunction with Aromatic Roasters in Pittsboro. Get your coffee fix today.

What’s Cackalacky? Around the turn of the century in the heart of the Carolinas – long before “local” was a thing – they set out on a mission to turn their love of authentic and imaginative local food and drink, original music, and the great outdoors into “something for people everywhere to enjoy!” And, well, that’s exactly what they did. They called their original food, beverage, and clothing creations, “Cackalacky®” (pronounced “cack-A-lacky”) – a word that they rescued from relative obscurity that they thought perfectly captured the spirit of their lofty-minded endeavors.

Non-Toxic Lice Treatment

Unfortunately, sometimes back-t0-school means back-to-lice treatments. The good news is we have partnered with Pediatric Hair Solutions to offer a physician-formulated and clinically tested product that doesn’t use harmful chemicals. Stop in and talk with our staff about it today.

The Elderberry Lady

It’s time to do everything you can to supplement and boost your immune system! Here’s one way: daily doses of The Elderberry Lady’s products! We have increased our inventory and now carry two sizes of syrups and gummies.

About Five Acres Honey Farm

Five Acres Honey Farm is a Certified Naturally Grown apiary in Pittsboro maintained by Certified Beekeeper Tara Lynne Groth. Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) is a national accreditation known as “the grassroots alternative to certified organic.” Five Acres Honey Farm maintains one of only three CNG apiaries within 100 miles of Raleigh, North Carolina. Annually inspected, CNG apiaries are recognized for using natural beekeeping practices without synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, or GMOs. 🐝

Five Acres Honey Farm minimally-filters raw honey and only uses glass jars. As a small-batch producer, Five Acres Honey Farm hand-pours and labels every jar.

These are just a few of the many reasons we chose to carry Five Acres Honey Farm honey. They will have a website in the next few weeks that we will share with all of you so you can get more information.

A Few Health Benefits of Honey

Here are some health facts about honey that Tara Lynne Groth shared with us from the National Honey Board:

Honey is a “natural alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine” and is “a wholesome sore-throat soother, a natural energy booster”
“Honey contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Flavonoids and phenolic acids, which act as antioxidants, are found in honey”
“Honey can help maintain muscle glycogen, also known as stored carbohydrates, which gives athletes the boost they need when they need it most”

Shop Depth Apparel Co. at 501 Pharmacy

August 6, 2019 By Han Su

As you know, the 501 Pharmacy team loves the water! 501 Pharmacy is a sponsor of the Cary Park Sea Dragons and a lot of Han’s free time is dedicated to helping his sons’ at swim team and just having fun out in the water. At one of his sons’ recent swim meets, Han met the owners of Depth Apparel Co. and instantly fell in love with their story, clothing, concept, and the fact that they are a small, local company.

Starting mid-August, 501 Pharmacy will be selling some of Depth Apparel Co.’s merchandise including t-shirts, hats, hoodies, and more – in hopes to support the liquid lifestyle. Be on the lookout for this merchandise hitting the shelf soon and keep reading to learn more about this great brand.

Han, Family, and Friends in Their Depth Gear

Depth Apparel Co.

“From from the recreational level to the Olympic podium, aquatics has been our family tradition for generations. Whether we were swimming, diving, playing water polo or riding waves, we were all in the water from a young age. Even to this day if we’re not working out at the closest pool, we’re outside somewhere on the open water.

Through the years we couldn’t help but notice how many clothing brands were available to other sports and lifestyles, while there was relatively nothing designed specifically for what we did in the pool every day. After a little research, we figured we would fill that gap. So we sourced some local vendors, artists, and designers, and worked hard to present the Depth brand to you.

While we love our liquid lifestyle, we hope our company will represent even more of what Depth means to us. Not just the water lifestyle and thrill of competition, but striving for deeper meaning in every pursuit. Go out there and Make Waves!”
