Downriver Homestead is so excited to be part of the 🌿 Second Annual Plant Fest 🌿

I’ll have a cozy little booth set up featuring some of my favorite homemade baked goodies, along with a handful of new shelf-stable items I’ve been working on (and I can’t wait for you to try them 🤍).

With 50+ vendors, beautiful plants everywhere (of course 🌱), and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to spend the day.

✨ Free admission
✨ Shop small & local
✨ Bring your people

I’d love to see your smiling faces there and catch up in person. Come say hi, grab a treat, and support all the amazing vendors!

🍌✨ Banana Bread Flights Have Landed at Downriver Homestead ✨🍌

There’s just something about banana bread that feels like home — warm oven, cozy kitchen, sweet comfort in every slice. And now you don’t have to choose just one flavor… so when I seen this on tick-tock I knew I needed to do it too!

Introducing our Banana Bread Flights 🤎
4 mini loaves for $20

Each flight includes:
🍌 Traditional Banana Bread (ask me to add walnuts!)
🍫 Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
🍫✨ Nutella Banana Bread
☕🍫 Chocolate Espresso Banana Bread

Perfect for sharing around the table… or keeping all to yourself (we don’t judge 😉).

These make the sweetest treat for gatherings, porch visits, gifting, or just stocking your own kitchen with something wholesome and homemade.

Message to order yours! 🧺💛
Order now till March 20th.
Pick up on Saturdays in flat rock.

We are still smiling after our very first swap event! 💛

A huge THANK YOU to Downriver for Veterans for hosting us and partnering with us to make this day so meaningful. Because of this collaboration, we weren’t just swapping goods — we were helping fill the pantry for veterans right here in our community. What a beautiful way to gather with purpose.

The room was full of creativity and connection. We swapped local honey, handmade washcloths, crocheted hair scrunchies, homemade laundry detergent, rich fudge, handcrafted tinctures, photography prints of local landscapes, jar grippies, simmer pot kits, and so much more. Every table held something made with care, and every conversation felt like the beginning of something special.

The best part? Watching neighbors connect, stories being shared, and community being built one handmade item at a time.

We had a wonderful turnout for our first event, and our hearts are full. This is just the beginning! ✨

Our next swaps will be posted as events very soon — we can’t wait to gather again. Thank you to everyone who showed up, swapped, donated, and supported. You are what makes this community so special. 💛

Wow wow wow!

Y’all I had so much fun at our first Sunday Swap (will now be referred to as “the common table” )

A group of us all gathered with 10 items each, and swapped them to leave with 10 other items! It was so fun to meet new people, build community, and find friendship!

Keep an eye out on our page for the next event date!

And thank you Downriver for Veterans for hosting this event today! We love what you do for the veterans community!

🌾 ANNOUNCING OUR FIRST SUNDAY SWAP 🌾

We’re so excited to invite you to The Sunday Spread: Community Swap, hosted in partnership with Downriver for Veterans, who are generously opening up their warehouse space for us 🤍

This is a swap-only community gathering—no buying, no selling—just creatives, makers, and neighbors sharing what they’ve made with one another.

✨ HOW IT WORKS
• Each participant brings 10 handmade, homemade, or locally sourced items
• In return, you’ll leave with 10 different items swapped with fellow participants
• All items will be placed on shared tables
• We’ll choose items in rounds to keep things fair for everyone

Want to bring more? You’re welcome to!
👉 Items must be brought in increments of 10
• Bring 20 items → pick 2 items per round
• Bring 30 items → pick 3 items per round

🚫 No direct sales or MLM companies
(Love you guys—but this event just isn’t for that 💛)

🍪 FOOD & ALLERGIES
If you’re bringing any edible items, please include a simple ingredient list so those with allergies know what’s in each item.

🥫 GIVING BACK
As a thank you to our host, we ask that each participant brings non-perishable food items to help stock the Downriver for Veterans food pantry serving local veterans.

📲 RSVP REQUIRED
Please be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event created by Down River Homestead.
There will be a post where everyone should comment what they’re bringing—this is important so:
• You can see what kinds of items will be available
• We can help avoid too many duplicates of the same thing

This gathering is about generosity, creativity, and community. Come with open hands, open hearts, and a willingness to share.

We can’t wait to swap with you 🤍
