The story begins in the small town of Floyd, VA...
In 2011, my family and I moved to the small town of Floyd in hopes of raising our kids in a peaceful and progressive town. The Blue Ridge mountains quickly became the place I would like to call home for a while. 10 years later, after many transformations, beautiful gains and tragic losses, I am still here and preparing for a new adventure!
I began serving crepes at the Floyd Farmers Market with my 1yr old daughter on my back. Crepes were a hit and novelty at the market. We later moved to Roanoke and my mother continued to offer crepes at the Blacksburg Farmers Market while I delved back into my Massage practice.
In 2017, my business partner, Katie Clifton with Queenpin Family Wellness and I signed a 5 year build to suit lease of a large historic home in Old SW Roanoke. We decided to both operate our practices individually and I would open a small cafe on the main floor serving crepes and various beverages. I named this Cafe "Garden Song Eco Cafe" and it served as a beautiful community hub for 4.5 years.
We are now in 2022 and have made it through a 2 year pandemic with all the love, support and encouragement of this amazing community. We closed the doors to the cafe at the The Haven on 5th with bitter sweet emotions, but look forward to continuing our journeys in service to our community and in fulfillment with our Soul's desires in new and exciting ways.
"The goal of Garden Song is to share the wonders of using FOOD as MEDICINE in everyday food and beverage consumption."

"Real Organic Foods for Vibrant Health and a Happy Community! "
Garden Song was established as a cozy, eco-friendly and health conscious cafe providing delectable organic plant-based foods and beverages. We kept at the forefront of our business undertakings a deep respect for our environment (The Earth) and a reverence for ancestral nutrition wisdom. During our time in business, we used 100% biodegradable to-go ware, composted all food waste and retailed locally sourced products. We utilized unprocessed ingredients and super-foods that we used to create nutritious and revitalizing meals. It has been an incredible journey and service... But it is not over... We are just moving... aboard a fantastically magical transformational bus! |
