Our Mission

We envision a Lake County where neighbors have the resources and power to heal and generate pride within their own neighborhoods.

Adam Carson and Nydia Gonzalez-Carson
Owner and Founder
Adam and Nydia moved back to Waukegan from Brooklyn, New York in early 2020 when they realized the impact COVID-19 would have on major cities. They came home to manage one of the family businesses, Supermercado Gonzalez. They wanted to create an extension of their home where folks feel welcomed and part of something bigger. Out of this dream, Drip & Culture was established."

 

Jeffery Williams
Owner and Founder
I have a passion for gardening and experimenting with food from my garden in combination with food I grew up eating in my family’s kitchen. I want my community and urban communities alike to know where their food comes and how to adopt healthier styles of eating and living. I am building the table and serving the food for my community, and sharing the generational wisdom to bring the community back to its roots through education.”

 

Michelle Calleja
Owner and Founder
Treasure Treats Bakery (TTB) is a small, Latina-owned business dedicated to making doggie tails wag! I established TTB because of the love I have for my dog, Bruno, my passion for baking and the pure joy of expressing my creativity. My goal for this dog bakery is to continue to spread that same love and happiness to your pup.”
