SHAWNEE — St. Gregory's Abbey has become known for the honey produced from its bee hives and fresh eggs from a flock of free-range hens housed on the monastery's grounds.

Soon, visitors will be able to purchase other items at the abbey — everything from soap, candles and lotion, to granola, breakfast cookies and a spicy condiment fittingly called "Monk Sauce."

Those things will be for sale at the new "Monk's Marketplace," which will open on Wednesday at 1900 W MacArthur.

The abbey monks even were encouraged to consider adding cannabis products to their enterprise. They declined.
