The reality of being a small business owner… 💔

We invested in these beautiful handmade clay pots because we wanted to give our customers the same 5-star hospitality they’ve given us through their 5-star reviews.

We wanted every meal to feel authentic, memorable, and special.

Unfortunately, almost the entire shipment arrived smashed. After all the waiting and excitement, only a handful survived.

As a small family business, moments like this hurt. Every dollar we invest is a leap of faith, especially when finances are already challenging.

Our hearts are broken today, but we won’t let this stop us. We’ll keep doing everything we can to create the best possible experience for every person who walks through our doors.

Thank you for believing in us, supporting local, and being part of our journey. We truly wouldn’t be here without you. 💚🍃

We had the pleasure of meeting the beautiful owners of Loch & Key Restaurant! ❤️

Such lovely people, and it’s always so nice connecting with fellow local business owners. 🫶

If you’re ever driving down that way, make sure to stop by and pay them a visit!

Let’s keep supporting local, supporting small businesses, and supporting each other. ❤️👏
