Sweet Success at Community Table with Ashley Rowland of Peach and Pine
At our latest Community Table Meet & Greet, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ashley Rowland, founder of the beloved St. James bakery and café, Peach and Pine.
Ashley shared her inspiring journey—from opening her doors in January to managing lines out the door on weekend mornings. Guests enjoyed hearing how her small-batch, scratch-made creations (yes, those famous brioche donuts!) have become a staple in the community.
Beyond the baked goods, Ashley spoke candidly about building a business with heart, staying true to her vision, and the value of connecting with the local community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this deliciously inspiring evening! Stay tuned for our next Community Table gathering.
A heartfelt thank you to Ashley for joining us and sharing your journey—we’re so grateful for your time and insight. We look forward to stopping by Peach and Pine soon to enjoy more of your unforgettable treats! 🖤🍩

A Sweet Evening with Ruth Harrigan
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Tuesday night for our latest Community Meet & Greet!
We were thrilled to welcome Ruth Harrigan--NYC beekeeper, entrepreneur, and founder of HoneyGramz and Mee Beauty--as our special guest speaker.
Ruth’s journey from a career in finance to fulltime beekeeper and pollinator advocate was both inspiring and entertaining.
From receiving chickens as a birthday gift to creating heartfelt honeygrams and bee friendly skincare, Ruth reminded us how life’s
unexpected turns can lead to beautiful, meaningful passions.
Her honey samples were a definite hit - delicious, creative, and straight from the hive!
We’re so grateful to Ruth for sharing her time, her story, and of course, her honey with us.
A big thank you as well to everyone who came out and made it such a fun and engaging evening.
Your presence and energy made all the difference!
Be on the lookout for our next Meet & Greet--we’ve got more inspiring guests and great community moments to come.
Until then, enjoy a few photos from the event below!
