I'm Lauren Alonso!

I’m a southern mama of 5. I believe stories are worth telling and joy can be found in any season no matter how bitter or how sweet. I'm a podcaster, blogger, and entrepreneur who loves doing life together!

THESE are making it to frames (that I’ve had sitting for probably 8 months).

Don’t be fooled… I’m a “retired” professional photographer, and it still took us 3 separate attempts to get family photos between temp changes, meltdowns, and chasing the sunset at different locations.

BUT… totally worth it!

This year instead of back-to-back parties and loads of gifts, we decided to take our three big kiddos to the beach for their birthdays which are just over a month between them all.

These are the kind of memories they will cherish for years to come and we spent it together in one of the most challenging seasons we’ve lived through.

Happy Birthday Addie, G, and Abel!

Mommy and Daddy love you more than you could ever know to imagine!

Maybe the things we once thought were too simple, too old-fashioned, too much work, or too different…
are actually the things that make a life feel rich.

It’s kinda chic to build the life you actually want. Welcome to my version of chic.

A little dream that started in April is finally sitting on the Farmstand shelves.

When we first opened the Farmstand, I had this idea in the back of my mind: What if we could make fresh milled baking accessible to more families?

Because I know how easy it is to see someone baking with fresh milled flour and think, I would LOVE to do that… but where would I even start? How would I even have time?

There’s the mill.
The wheat berries.
The research.
The recipes.
The learning curve.

And as a mama of little ones, I know that sometimes even the things you really want to do can feel like one more thing to figure out.

So I wanted to create another way in.

Introducing the Mill to Table Collection — a collaboration with Home Slice, our local fresh milled flour and rcottage baker, created exclusively for the Grits, Grace & Granola Farmstand.

We’ve taken fresh milled flour and turned it into simple, approachable mixes that are ready for you to bring home and bake.

🥞 Plain Pancake Mix
🫐 Blueberry Pancake Mix (coming soon)
🍫 Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix (coming soon)
🧁 Plain Muffin Mix
🫐 Blueberry Muffin Mix
🍫 Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix
🌾 Plus fresh milled flour (coming soon)

Just add a few simple ingredients, follow the instructions, and you’re on your way.

No mill required. No pantry full of wheat berries. No giant investment before you even know if fresh milled baking is something your family loves.

Just a simple place to start. 🤍

Seeing this line come to life feels like such a full-circle moment for me. I’ve been dreaming about it since we opened, and now it’s here—made possible through a collaboration between two local mama-owned businesses (who happened to be neighbors and didn’t know it) and created with the hope that more families can experience fresh milled baking without feeling overwhelmed by where to begin.

And this weekend, you can taste it before you bake it! We’ll have fresh muffin samples waiting for you under the Big Pink Tent. 🧁

So tell me…

👇 Which would you try first: pancakes or muffins?
And if you have questions about fresh milled flour or how these mixes work, drop them below!

Sometimes a simple question has a way of revealing something you hadn’t fully put into words yet.

Recently, someone asked if they could come photograph the behind-the-scenes of the Farmstand. As honored as I was, my answer surprised even me.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized the most beautiful parts of this place aren’t the ones a camera can capture.

I don’t think this Farmstand is mine.

It’s a vision the Lord placed on my heart, and I simply get to steward it.

Because the most beautiful parts of this place can’t be captured by a camera.

You can’t photograph answered prayers.

You can’t photograph the late-night planning sessions between vendors, the excitement over new menu ideas, or the countless hours that go into every loaf, every bar of soap, and baked good.

You can’t photograph the prayers that have been prayed over this stand before a single customer arrives.

Or the way complete strangers become friends.

Or the joy of seeing familiar faces walk up every Friday with their market bags, already knowing this place feels like home.

From where I stand, I get to witness something so much bigger than a Farmstand.

This is a community.

This is collaboration.

This is people using their gifts to serve one another.

This is God doing what only He can do.

Maybe that’s why I always say you have to experience Farmstand Friday.

Because the very best part isn’t what’s on the tables.

It’s what happens around them.

If you’ve been to the Farmstand, what keeps bringing you back?

And if you haven’t visited yet, I hope you’ll come experience what I simply can’t put into words.

Summer days ☀️👙⛱️💦 and family time

Missing our big kids but soaking up the time we have together and making the most of the summer heat.

Thanks YaYa for an amazing day, yummy food, and a fun pool day!

Summer days ☀️👙⛱️💦 and family time

Missing our big kids but soaking up the time we have together and making the most of the summer heat.

Thanks YaYa for an amazing day, yummy food, and a fun pool day!

People have often been skeptical about how I’ve shared my life online over the years, but I can honestly tell you that when I started blogging over 16 years ago, I never could have imagined how this story would unfold—or how grateful I would be that I didn’t keep my life to myself.

While we live in a very digital world, most of my real-life friendships and meaningful relationships actually began with strangers who became friends… and eventually family.

Making friends as a full-time caregiver to my late husband—and now as a stay-at-home mom of five—hasn’t always been easy. But because of communities started in obedience to the Lord, I’ve experienced some of the deepest, most meaningful friendships of my life.

No matter which chapter of this story you’ve joined me in—those early days of ministry, Joel’s accident and our testimony, Extreme Home Makeover, Inside Edition, adoption, the farm, blending our family when I married Adam, birthing babies at home (or trying to! 😂), or now the Farmstand—I want you to know that it means so much to me that you’ve been here.

I try not to let fear or the state of the world distract me from what the Lord is doing because this little corner of the internet has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

To “my biggest fan”—otherwise known as Kellie—thank you for “convincing”your sweet husband to drive 352 miles to visit us and the Farmstand this weekend 😉

Thank you for watching this story unfold from Jacksonville, to both farms, to all the babies, and now to the big pink tent in our front yard.

Thank you for every encouraging message, every prayer, every comment, and every season you’ve faithfully cheered us on from afar.

You are a true friend, and I am so grateful to have you—even 5½ hours away.

Thank you for being so much more than a stranger on the internet.

And perhaps that’s my reminder for all of us today:

Don’t underestimate what God can do with your “yes.”

Sometimes, He uses it to build a life you never could have imagined… and occasionally, it looks like a friend driving 352 miles just to hug you and try some goodies from your Farmstand.

Don’t let the smile on my face fool you.

The burden we carry isn’t easy, but I’m reminded that His burden is light and it was never mine to pick up.

My part in this is remaining faithful, to let Him fight for us. And to stay the course. Seek peace. And put on my armor daily.

And sometimes that looks like putting up a pretty pink tent and serving baked goods and being a good witness to the cup we are holding.

He will deliver us. He is who He says He is. He will do it. We believe for it!

This song shook me the other day as I was attending a therapy session for my kids. Right before we walked in I was in tears, hands held high and shouting at a red light that seemed to last forever. My kids witnessed their mom wrecked by the Gospel and pointing to the one who has us in His hands.

I hope this reminds you that He is in it with you, fighting for you and not ever against you, friend.

xo,
Lauren

One of the questions I get asked the most is:
“Are you ever going to open a bakery?”

And honestly?

Not in my wildest dreams. 😂

Because that was never the vision.

A bakery often centers around one person’s talent, one person’s creations, and one person’s capacity.

But the Farmstand was never meant to be just my kitchen.

It was always meant to be a table where more people could gather.

I also get asked about doing more vendor events and pop-ups, and while I’m so grateful people want us there, I’ve realized that chasing every opportunity would pull me away from the very things I feel called to protect:
Being home with my husband and kids.
Creating when I feel led.
Building relationships.
Growing this community.

Because the truth is…

My food was never the main attraction here. 🤍

It’s the collective experience.

It’s the makers, bakers, and creators who each bring something special.

It’s community over competition.

Collaboration over comparison.

So in this next season, I’m taking a little bit of a backseat in baking and creating more space for our talented bakers and new makers to shine.

Don’t worry — your favorites from my kitchen aren’t going anywhere. 🤍

They’ll still be available through preorder, and extras will still make their way onto the stand.

But I’m choosing obedience over hustle.

Because before I am a business owner, I am a wife and a mom.

And I believe this is the next step God is calling me into.

The Farmstand was never meant to be something I could recreate somewhere else.

It isn’t just the stand.

It isn’t just the products.

It’s the people.

It’s the stories.

It’s all of us together.

So what’s next?

Not a bakery.

A bigger table. 🤍

More stories.
More makers.
More connection.
More joy.

Leave me some thoughts in the comments and tell me what you think about this pivot! Does it seem crazy or totally in alignment?

No offense to your mama… I’m sure she makes great biscuits…

But… I think I made a huge mistake calling these simply “blueberry biscuits.” 😂

Because these are NOT your average biscuits.

They’re soft, buttery, drizzled with sweet vanilla icing, bursting with juicy blueberries or cinnamon… and honestly? They give major nostalgic vibes.

And if you remember Bojangles’ old cinnamon biscuits, just know that we understood the assignment. 🤍✨

Only difference?

✔️ They’re homemade.
✔️ I’ll happily add extra icing.
✔️ You don’t have to beg for it at the drive-thru. 😅

These limited-quantity biscuits are available by preorder this week, and once they’re gone, they’re gone!

👇 Tell me in the comments:
Are you Team Cinnamon or Team Blueberry? For dad… father’s Day I decided to go ahead and do a mix box as well so you don’t have to choose!

Preorders close tonight, so don’t wait to claim your favorites!

It’s far more than a $6 frozen lemonade. 🍋💛

Behind every cup are lessons I hope my children carry with them long after summer is over.

This year, I invested in a slushy machine for them to use at the Farmstand. Their job? To help pay it back. Not because I need the money, but because I want them to understand the value behind the things we own and the work it takes to earn them.

They’re learning about:
✨ entrepreneurship and taking initiative
✨ saving and investing
✨ customer service and communication
✨ cleanliness and food safety
✨ serving others with kindness
✨ showing up and working hard
✨ and the value of a dollar earned

Earlier this week, they got to spend some of the tip money they worked so hard for, each choosing something special that they wanted. Watching them make thoughtful decisions with money they earned themselves was one of my favorite moments of the week.

The truth is, I don’t think we’re raising future lemonade or maybe farmstand owners (although maybe we are 😉). I think we’re raising children who will one day be adults who understand responsibility, generosity, perseverance, and the joy that comes from meaningful work.

So thank you to every person who has stopped by, encouraged them, left a tip, or patiently waited while little hands learned how to do big things.

You’re helping us build something much sweeter than frozen lemonade. 🤍🍋

Their lemonade stand is open till 4 PM today… and they look forward to serving you!

If there was ever a week to celebrate making it to summer break… it’s this one 😂☀️🍌🍒

This banana split cake was originally made for my daughter’s birthday last year and somehow I’ve waited two months to share it with the stand 🤍

And honestly? Watching this cake come together again feels like a little celebration in itself — slower mornings, barefoot summer days, sticky fingers, backyard memories, and all the sweet little moments we wait for all school year long 🌸

✨ homemade banana cake
✨ nostalgic banana split flavors
✨ whipped frosting + drizzled with chocolate ganache
✨ made from scratch

There are only a FEW slices remaining for this weekend and once they’re gone… they’re gone 👀

Preorders close TONIGHT to guarantee your order 🌿

But instead of just telling me if you want cake… tell me this 👇

What was the ultimate end-of-school treat growing up for YOU? 😂

Ice cream? Pizza? Little Debbie snacks? Pool day? I need to know 👀✨

Alright dads… settle a debate for us 👀😂

If your wife pulled into a roadside farmstand to shop for Father’s Day… what would you ACTUALLY want her to come home with?

Because I’m convinced men secretly want nostalgic snack cakes and gas station junk food… just homemade with better ingredients 😂

Like are we talking:

🍰 homemade swiss cake rolls
🍫 twix bar cookies
🍓 whoopie pies
🥜 peanut butter brownies
🍩 jam filled donuts
🥛 little debbie-inspired treats
🥖 giant sandwich bread for cookout leftovers
🌶️ homemade BBQ rubs + seasonings
🍔 focaccia buns for burgers
👨‍🍳 grilling aprons
🥓 savory snacks nobody else is allowed to touch 😂

We’re dreaming up a Father’s Day menu that feels nostalgic, fun, homemade, and wildly delicious… but we need REAL dad feedback because “whatever’s fine” is not helping us here 😅

So this is your official opportunity to communicate clearly before your wife panic-orders another wallet or grill spatula set 😂👏

👇 Tell me the most “dad” snack or treat you’d lose your mind over if you saw it at a farmstand.
