Rio de Ojas began many years ago, evolving from a unique mixture of our experiences both at home and abroad.  “Rio de Ojas” is a play on our last name, “Riojas” and translates “River of Leaves”. 

 

Who each of us choose to support helps to shape the world.

We look to trade with companies and individuals that have integrity and a passion for their product: 

International partners certified in fair trade, support local schools, orphanages, and women's collectives.

Domestic "Ma and Pa” & female owned businesses who take pride in their work, great ingredients and philosophies.

Skilled artists who have become valued friends. 

We welcome you to share the journey with us and become part of the tale.

 

January 2025 our wonderful building sold.  With celebration and tears for what was, and with hope for the future, those doors closed.

​

We are in the process of reorganizing and are looking forward to offering classes again, having your favorite products available...and maybe walking a few new paths along the way!
