Evermore Trading Co. – Teller of Tales, Trader of Goods
Built along the banks of Nacote Creek, Evermore is where folklore and history ride in the same boat.
Through our Scenic Boat Tours and gatherings at Dock 4, we share the stories of:
• The old fishery
• The rum-runners
• The privateers
• The marsh that remembers everything
We don’t just cruise the water —
we tell her story.
Some of it is written in records.
Some of it lives in family ledgers.
And some of it… well… the Crick told us herself.
If you’re a lover of history, a protector of local heritage, or simply someone who feels at home near moving tide — pull up a chair.
Evermore Trading Co.
Teller of Tales… Trader of Goods
(And some of them may even be true….)

The Fish Feeder in Matlacha, her winter home.

Well now… she’s been sittin’ up there on that lift, sun-baked and salt-kissed, lookin’ like she’s seen more than she’s tellin’.
This here’s The Fishfeeder—and truth be told, she never did find much fish… but she sure fed a lot of ’em.
She rode out three Cat 4 hurricanes—Ian first, then Helene, then Miserable old Milton showed up just tryin’ to finish the job! Took a couple canopies clean off like they was paper hats, but this girl?
She just hunkered down and said, “I ain’t done yet.”
Paint’s tired. Cushions got stories. Salt’s etched her name into every rail.
But don’t let that fool ya… she’s stubborn in the good way.
Turn the key and she fires right up like she’s been waitin’ on me all along—
same as Fred always said she would.
Now she does need some lovin’.
A good scrub, a little elbow grease, and if I don’t bust my neck climbin’ aboard, we’re gonna make her pretty again—slow and respectful, like you do with things that earned their wear.
Boats like this ain’t just fiberglass and wires.
They’re storm riders. Memory keepers.
Proof that when somethin’s built right—and loved right—it hangs on.
So here we go…
Cleanin’ her up, talkin’ to her gentle,
and thankin’ her proper for stayin’ put when the wind tried to carry the whole world away.

Evermore Trading Co. | Port Republic, New Jersey

Dear friends and wanderers,
When the north wind sweeps down Naked Crick and the cedar trees bend just so, I can almost hear the old captains whispering through the tide grass. They remind me that every story, every jar of honey, every bundle of herbs, and every hand-tied tea sachet carries a bit of history — and a whole lot of heart.
Evermore Trading Co. was born from those stories — from the creak of wooden docks, the scent of salt hay and cinnamon, and the laughter that spills from the porch when neighbors stop by “just for a cup.” What began as a humble gathering of tales and trading of goods has become a place where the past and present share a kettle and a smile.
This season, as you wander our shelves or unwrap a box from the Evermore Herb & Tea Co., may you feel that same warmth. Each blend, salve, and cordial was crafted by hand and heart — inspired by Port Republic’s crickside tales, by the kind of folks who still wave from the dock, and by the simple joy of sharing something made with care.
So whether you find yourself by the fire, the water, or somewhere far from home, pour yourself a cup, take a slow breath, and remember — the spirit of Evermore travels wherever good company gathers.
With warmest wishes from the Crick,
Donna Lee Riegel
Keeper of Evermore
Warehouse Open Saturdays 10-2 pm thru November…
