Happy Juneteenth Everyone! We hope you have an amazing holiday, but we have some event updates for Father's Day on the Farm.

Unfortunately, due to anticipated weather conditions, this event has been cancelled.

We are extremely disappointed and didn't make this decision lightly. We want to ensure that you have an inconvenience free experience, as well as enough time to make alternative Father's Day plans with your loved ones.

Thank you for all of your support, and we can't gather soon! It's our hope to reschedule for a future date, so please keep an eye out for updates!

We are Herbal Storytellers and 2 of the 1 Million pledging to read books by Black Authors this summer.
To know us, is to know that we keep our noses in a book and are huge advocates of Black artistry. What's a better way to enjoy a cup of tea than with a good read? We can't think of one 🤷🏾‍♀️.

While we both will probably read more than one this summer, this is what we are committing to:

📖 Dominique will be completing "Sacred Pampering Principles" by Debrena Jackson Gandy

📖 KaShala will be completing "It Was the Way She Said It" by Terry McMillan.

We are excited to join the 1MilBlackBooks book club and encourage you to also take the pledge! What Black authors will you be reading this summer? Let us know in the comments 📚

HAPPY PRIDE to our Communi-Tea and our amazing co-owner KaShala! We look forward to celebrating with you all today at PRIDE in the CLE. You can find us in Mall C in booth 712!

🌈 From Shala:

" Pride every year has brought me closer to community and deepened acceptance within my family. The love within this community is a miracle that touches all who embrace us.

Visibility is revolutionary in a time when our humanity is debated. We will be seen dancing in the streets.

-With Pride, Shala"
