We are excited to announce a significant transition at Flowers Homemade! As we close our dining room, we are transforming our space into a vibrant retail hub dedicated to local growers, makers, bakers, and chefs. This new venture aims to foster a community of culinary creativity and support for local artisans.

Our retail space will provide an opportunity for vendors to showcase their unique products, connect with customers, and be part of a thriving local market. We believe that every dish tells a story, and we want to help you share yours with the world!
