    This is one of those businesses where you should check the Sort Order and choose Newest First. They're going through a lot of changes. My girlfirend said: It's nothing like it was 30 years ago. [wink emoji - like yeah, nothing is] If you've ever been through a corporate merger or a non-profit merger, well, you might catch the scent. Alt-E of Massachusetts is the new owner of Real Goods (as of just weeks ago). Alt-E stands for alternative energy, so solar is still the thing, but this location is clearly very much in "work in progress" status at this time. Customer Service woman in the small store was very helpful. We left with some new information about hempline construction and we picked up some practical and some gift items. She also gave us the name of the good straw bale construction contact. When I asked about the Yelp check-in deal for the free copy of the Source Book, she knew nothing about the check-in deal. She said the store we were in was a Solar Living Institute store, but she kindly called down to the Real Goods "store," which was a warehouse. Things were in flux in early September, 2019. Nice fellow at the warehouse was able to secure a copy of the book for me, but it was a little awkward. Meanwhile, up the hill there's a dispensary now. Emerald Pharms which has its own Yelp listing, but I'm mentioning it here because all three businesses share a driveway and parking and are walking distance from each other.

    This is my favorite pit-stop when driving from the Bay Area up 101 towards Humboldt county. I've been coming here for 20 years and never had a bad visit. As a dad, I can appreciate Real Goods as a stimulating, welcoming, and enticingly stocked oasis on a long drive. As a former Humboldt resident, I appreciate how Real Goods can appeal to both liberal hippies and conservative rednecks. Located in Hopland, CA, half way between Cloverdale and Ukiah, the Real Goods store has plentiful parking and a beautiful and expansive outdoor space, including misters, picnic tables, a fountain, pond, and an underground tunnel for kids to climb through. The also have plentiful and clean restrooms. They even had no-flush urinals in the 90s, well before I saw them used anywhere else. Inside the store, you'll find a wonderland of off-the-grid-living products, and you'll also find a remarkably knowledgeable staff that will gladly talk to you about sustainable living. This is a great place to find gifts for your eco-conscious, nerdy, redwood-hugging friends (like me) or your zombie-ready, off-road driving, underground bunker building, prepper friends (not so much me, but still a good friend to have).
