3 LOCAL VENDORS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR
A CASA MARGARITA MIX
- A CASA is a local woman-owned, all-natural margarita mix.
- Made with just 3 ingredients: fresh squeezed limes, organic agave, water. A CASA comes in 2 different flavors, regular and spicy, which is made with serrano peppers.
- A Jar yields about 6-8 margaritas.
BEE2BEE HONEY
- Bee2Bee was founded in 2016 by Nicole Buergers and provides beekeeping services and hyperlocal honey throughout Houston.
- Each colony has their own nectar and pollen preferences, and it comes through in the taste of the honey.
- The honey is bottled in glass jars as bottling in plastic affects the honey’s taste, especially over time.
ROOTS IN HARMONY
- The company was founded by two sisters, wanting to share their knowledge about the healing power of Ayurveda.
- All recipes are created with certified organic herbs and each spice is individually hand-roasted to release the essential oils, aromas and healing benefits. There are never any added sweeteners, flavors, or anything artificial in the blends.
- Golden Milk is one of their best-known products. This blend includes turmeric along with a powerhouse of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and black pepper to relax sore muscles, help alleviate inflammation, promote digestion, and improve skin clarity
