Our Story

About Latter Day Shopping

Our Mission

A marketplace built on trust and shared values

Latter Day Shopping was born from a simple but powerful idea: what if shopping could feel good not just for you, but for the planet and the people behind every product?

We operate two businesses โ€” Emergency Essentials and Secret Garden Bees. Every product on this site comes from those brands, so you always know where your money is going.

Our Journey

How We Got Here

2008

Established

Our story began in 2008 โ€” building businesses rooted in preparedness, quality, and products families can trust.

Emergency Essentials

Emergency Essentials / BePrepared is one of our two businesses: food storage, kits, and emergency preparedness supplies.

Secret Garden Bees

Secret Garden Bees, an NC Veteran Farm, is our second business โ€” honey and farm goods produced with care.
