We would love to see you in just under two weeks at our first field day August 17th! The flowers and herbs are blooming and the h**p has just begun to flower. This year we only grew a sixth of the h**p crop that we normally grow. Last season was so abundant that there was really no need to go all out. Just a heads up in case you were anticipating a field full of h**p😊 If you are interested in seeing the h**p in full bloom, I would recommend waiting until September 14th.
We will have some jars for folks to make their own flower bouqets if so desired. And of course all products will be 25% off! See you soon! **p **p

While we always knew the day would come, we told ourselves he would be around forever!

Unfortunately, this is the LAST NIGHT with DJ Pei at Coa Cantina!

If you’ve ever danced to the tunes, drank with him or just wondered who is killin it behind the DJ booth, swing down and spend one more night with him tonight!

Buy him a shot, give him a hi five or just dance the night away and cry with us as we send him off to do bigger and better things!

Thank you for everything !!

Cheers to ONE MORE!!!

Remember the little poll we posted in our story about moving our hours into the evening? We had HUNDREDS of votes and everyone but 2 people said YES to nighttime!

With that being said, starting in September, we’re going to become your favorite NIGHTTIME cakery! 🌚

To the two that voted no, we’ll still be open during the day on the weekends! 🫶🏼
