“Commencing countdown, engines on.”

We couldn’t be more excited to share that Greenwood Sip and Ship is officially on the homestretch of its expansion project. Phase two of reintroducing a new and improved cafe experience is just a month away!

The Sip and Ship team wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support, encouragement and patience during this process, and to share with you a few images of our progress so far. With more after-photos soon to come!
