located in central Wisconsin.
PROCESS is collaboratively owned and family supported business.
We also have a small, amazing staff helping with the day to day.
PROCESS was established in 2020 off the front porch of Rubina's other business, Tomorrow River Homestead. It was originally created to fill the need of more sustainable options for the local community. Now we proudly serve both central Wisconsin and customers nationwide.
Weaving our values.
We are a shop curated through a native lens, for native and non-native folks. We try to bring in as many native owned goods as possible.
We also bring in items that complement the values that are naturally woven through Rubina's own indigenous identity. This includes finding sustainable, earth friendly, inclusive products, brands and makers as well.
We also prioritize LQBTQIA2S and BIPOC brands and makers given the opportunity!
Its a PROCESS.
Our main value is to live into the journey in everything we do. Folks often feel like they have to get it perfect from the start. PROCESS is meant to encourage us to try new things, pick away at creating more healthy habits, and continue to learn along the way.
What it means to be NATIVE OWNED!
When you shop with PROCESS you are supporting not just our native owned shop, but all the other native brands, makers and tribes we carry.
We prioritize sourcing and promoting native made goods!
SUSTAINABILITY FOCUSED
PROCESS started as a low waste/zero waste shop. We originally only offered goods that were plastic free or package free. Over time we realized that sustainability is much more than creating less waste. It is how we build community, where we put our money, all while minimizing our impact on the earth. We tray and make shopping sustainably easy.
QUEER OWNED
In our local community in central Wisconsin, representation matters. There really isn't anywhere to get body and/or sex positive goods. Having an online store for our local community to be able to find things and pick them up in person is super important to us. We also want to curate a collection that inspire our online base as well!
PROCESS was founded and is co-owned by Rubina Martini (she/they), ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ (Cherokee Citizen), Ioway of Kansas and Nebraska and Omaha of Nebraska.

Lyn (they/them) became a community member of Stevens Point after moving here 10 years ago. Well, that's not true - they moved here from Milwaukee 10 years ago but they didn't become a member of the community until they got a job at the Stevens Point Area Co-op and realized there was more to the city than just the university's campus. After 5+ years in this area, starting a number of organizational and business ventures, and buying a house with their wife, they can fully say that this city has become their home. Lyn is a co-owner of Bound to Happen Books and Process General Store and a graduate of Mid-State Technical College in Accounting. They are also a member of Socialist Alternative, an international socialist organization that struggles for democratic socialism across the globe.
PROCESS offers a local place for folks to refill their containers with cleaning and personal care products.
