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!

Imagine it’s 4th of July weekend at your favorite little farmstand… what are you hoping to find at the stand?!

Leave us your wishes and feedback of your past faves, shareable treats, and flavors you’re hoping to find here next weekend in the comments!

We want your feedback before we solidify that menu! So let us know!

To the man only we get to call “Daddy”!

Honey, I’m so grateful for getting to be your wife and have our babies call you their Dad! You are such an amazing God-fearing leader.

We love you Daddy!!!

PS… we need updated family photos… pronto… these babies don’t keep.

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.

Yesterday I found myself in the kitchen making lemon sugar cookies while “LEMONADE” by Forrest Frank played in the background at the exact moment that I was adding lemon to these delicious cookies,… and something about it hit me right in the heart 🥹🍋

You know those moments where the song, the season, and your life all collide at the exact same time?

That was this.

And honestly… that’s what these cookies feel like to me.

A reminder that sometimes life does hand you lemons…

…but Jesus has a way of turning them into something sweeter 🤍

These blueberry lemon sugar cookie sandwiches are soft, bright, summery, nostalgic, and filled with the most delicious blueberry filling in between ✨

The kind of treat that feels like sunshine after a hard season 🌸

And they’re only available for a LIMITED time this weekend at the farmstand 👀

✨ preorder now for best selection
✨ pickup Friday + Saturday
✨ limited quantities available

Trust me… these are not the cookies you want to wait on 😂

👇 Comment “COOKIE” and I’ll send you the preorder link before they sell out!

The other day a friend asked me why I decided to go back into physical products… and honestly, the answer surprised even me 🤍

This little farmstand wasn’t born out of extra time or boredom. It came during one of the fullest, hardest, most exhausting seasons of motherhood.

After years of pregnancies, breastfeeding, sleepless nights, survival mode, and pouring everything I had into my babies… I felt depleted.

Like the mama flamingo whose pink had faded from giving everything away in the best way to my babies🦩🌸

And then one morning, God planted this idea in my heart.

Not just a farmstand…
but a place for creativity, beauty, hospitality, homemade food, and COMMUNITY to come alive again.

A place where moms could make and bake from home without sacrificing their families in the process 🤍

And somehow… little by little… my pink started coming back too.

This farmstand has become so much more than bread and baked goods. It’s become a reminder that motherhood doesn’t mean the end of creativity, dreams, or purpose.

Sometimes it just looks different than before 🌿

Thank you for being part of this story with us. Truly.

✨ This week’s menu is LIVE + preorders are highly encouraged before we sell out!

📍816 Mount Vernon Road Greer, SC
💗 Friday and Saturday under the big pink tent — rain or shine

👇 I’d love to know:
What’s something that’s brought YOUR spark back in this season of life?

This weekend’s farmstand left us speechless 🥹🤍

Every message.
Every review.
Every “this was the best cookie I’ve ever had.”
Every person who stopped by for sourdough and left with armfuls of goodies and encouragement too 🌿

The sweetest part of all of this has been watching people fall in love with the recipes and homemade goodness that mean so much to our families.

From the focaccia and sourdough…
to the oatmeal cream pies, Rice Krispies, chocolate chunk cookies, and family recipes like banana walnut cake and grandma’s sugar cookies 🍪✨

Your words truly keep us going.

Because behind every item at the stand is a mama baking late at night, recipe testing in her kitchen, creating something with love while raising babies in the middle of it all 🤍

And while the food is wonderful… the bigger vision has always been about people.

Community.
Family.
Making room for moms to dream and create from home.
Building something meaningful together.

We are so grateful you’re part of this story with us 🌸

If you’ve ever stopped by the stand, preordered, or tried something from one of our makers and bakers… we would LOVE to hear from you 👇

Tell us your favorite item, leave a little feedback, or share what you’d love to see next at the stand 🤍

Your encouragement means more than you know.

And if you’re wondering how I’m fixing it… 😂

I decided to stop putting pressure on myself to have the stand perfectly stocked the second we open.

Instead, I’m giving myself flexibility and guaranteeing preorder pickups within the hour of opening.

Because the reality is… I’m usually out there by myself in the early morning hours while my husband stays inside with the babies so they can keep sleeping while I work 🤍

And every single order has to be:
✨ packed
✨ labeled
✨ organized
✨ carried one-by-one from our basement kitchen to the stand

It’s a labor of love… but also a learning curve 😅

And honestly?
I think I’m probably the only one truly panicking about it 😂

I think most people understand this is real life, real families, and a real small business growing in real time.

So if there’s ever an unforeseen hiccup, just check your email before heading over 🤍

But I can promise you this:
I care deeply about your experience here.

Your order matters to me.
Your feedback matters to me.
My reputation and standing behind what we create here means the world to me.

And if something ever isn’t right… I’ll always make it right.

More than anything, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for your encouragement.
For your patience.
For your grace while I learn to run this thing well.

And truly… one of my favorite things is when someone stops by and says:

“I’ve been following since the beginning and I’ve loved watching every part of this.” 🥹

Please never hold back those little comments and stories. They genuinely make my day and remind me why we started all of this in the first place 🤍

Here’s to 37 🌸

A little wiser.
A little slower.
And honestly… a lot more fun.

At 27, I thought life was about chasing more.
More success.
More certainty.
More proof that I was doing enough.

But somewhere along the way, life softened me.

Now I find joy in slower mornings, homemade bread, bike rides with my babies, flowers from the garden, meaningful conversations, and building a life that feels full—not just busy.

This season may not look glamorous by the world’s standards, but it feels rich in all the ways that matter most!

37 feels like learning that happiness isn’t always found in the big milestones…
Sometimes it’s found in sticky kitchen counters, late night laughter, watching birds on the porch, and the beautiful chaos of raising a family while still making room for your dreams.

I’m deeply grateful for every lesson, every hard season, every answered prayer, and every unexpected turn that brought me here 🌸

Here’s to living a little lighter.
Laughing a little louder.
Holding the people I love a little closer.

And continuing to grow exactly where I’m planted 🌱

For the mom who felt less than on Mother’s Day, you aren’t alone. Here’s the truth about my “not so perfect” Mother’s Day 🌸

In full transparency… mine wasn’t perfect.

It was delightful and chaotic.
Overstimulating and exhausting.
Beautiful and hard.

And honestly?
I think motherhood is often both at the same time.

This weekend, one of the women who stopped by the stand shared something that really stayed with me. She said one year she decided to stop waking up on Mother’s Day wondering how everyone was going to serve her… and instead asked herself:

“How can I be a blessing to my family today?”

That hit me right where I needed it.

So instead of focusing on every unmet expectation or chaotic moment, I tried to notice the good.

My oldest surprising me with flowers 🌸
Taking the little kids to paint so I could breathe for a second… even if it ended with our English Cream Golden’s tail covered in black paint and streaked across my white walls 😂

The beauty of our first family bike ride around Furman… even if someone melted down 20 minutes in.

The quiet drive to grab ice cream for everyone.

My husband finally shampooing the dining room rug and chairs covered in months of fingerprints, berries, crumbs, and signs of a life fully lived around our table.

I don’t know if you’re a “glass half full” or “glass half empty” kind of person…

But I think there’s room to acknowledge both the beauty and the hard.

To tell the truth about the exhaustion of this season while still choosing gratitude in the middle of it.

Because motherhood isn’t picture perfect.
And neither is family life.

It’s messy. Loud. Emotional. Beautiful. Sacred. Stretching.

Perfectly imperfect.

And I think more moms need to hear this:
Despite what social media can make it seem like… no one’s life is as flawless as it looks online.

Most of us are living in the in-between—holding both joy and overwhelm at the same time.

And maybe that doesn’t make it less beautiful.
Maybe that’s what makes it real.

POV: When you have a customer who wants a bouquet and the flowers aren’t cooperating, you phone a neighbor!

What a blessing my sweet neighbor is to allow us to borrow her garden!

And… a sweet surprise from @jennykneadsdough … focaccias and jams and apple butter are now on the stand until they sell out!

We have jalapeño cheddar and everything bagel - only three of each! Plus her hot honey asiago sourdough is all the rage! We have so many beautiful goodies for Mother’s Day, but also just for you!

Don’t sleep on the Farmstand this weekend! This is when you don’t want to miss!

We are open till sundown today and open at 9am tomorrow!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to serve you at our Grits, Grace & Granola Farmstand—especially this weekend 🌸

Because this one feels a little extra special…

This is moms serving moms
And that’s the heart behind everything we’re growing here 🤍

The dream for this stand was simple:

To create a space where moms can make meaningful income from home…
without sacrificing time with their families

No long market days
No packing up babies for hours away
No wondering if it will all be “worth it”

Just…
Create something beautiful
Drop it off
And go be with the people who matter most 🌿

I’ve done the markets…
the long days, the setup, the waiting, the teardown

And while there’s a place for that—
this is something different 🤍

This is about consistency, community, and freedom
So these mamas can create with joy… not pressure

⸻

So this Mother’s Day, when you stop by…

You’re not just buying bread or sweets or a gift

You’re supporting:
✨ a mom at home with her babies
✨ a family building something meaningful
✨ a dream that’s being nurtured little by little

I hope you’ll come by, see what these mamas have created, and feel the love that’s been poured into every single item 🤍

And if you’ve shopped with us before—your encouragement, your feedback, and your support truly mean more than you know 🌿

✨ Shop the stand or preorder here:
www.gritsgraceandgranola.com/farmstand

📍 816 Mount Vernon Rd, Greer

💳 Self-serve + easy to shop:
Cash at the box • Zelle • Venmo • Cash App

⸻

Everything is made in small batches and limited quantities…
so come early, or preorder to make sure you don’t miss out 🤍

From our homes to yours…

All I want for Mother’s Day… it’s not too much to ask is it? Hehe

OK, maybe only one more baby! But the rest of it I approve!
