A Year Rooted in Community: Our 2025 Recap

Manton Apple Festival October 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, we’ve been taking a moment to pause, breathe, and really reflect on what this year has meant to us.

This year, we showed up to 100 events. Some days, one single customer came by just to support us and those moments mattered just as much as the days when we had a line spilling out of our tent. We’ve done intimate markets with a handful of people and large-scale events where 8,000 cars were clocked passing through. Every single one of them shaped us.

We traveled to eight different cities and towns, packed and unpacked our booth more times than we can count, and slowly watched something beautiful grow not just a business, but a community.

This was also the year we began teaching. We hosted our first tie-dye workshops and gemstone chip tree workshops, sharing our craft in a deeper, more intentional way. Watching people create with their hands, learn something new, and walk away proud of what they made has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

Along the way, we met incredible fellow vendors people who shared event leads, offered encouragement, helped one another load in, shared snacks, watched booths, and reminded us that this path is better when it’s walked together. To the vendors we worked alongside this year: thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for helping build the vendor community we now feel so deeply connected to.

To our customers truly, we could not have done this without you. Every purchase, every conversation, every time you chose handmade or told a friend about us you made our dreams possible this year. You are the reason we kept going on long days and slow mornings alike.

To the event hosts who made 2025 special: thank you. Thank you for the communication, the organization, the behind-the-scenes work, and the effort it takes to bring people together. We see the work you do, and we’re grateful to have been part of your events.

And to our kids thank you for being part of it all. For handing out business cards, helping pack up, smiling at customers, and growing alongside us. You are the heart behind why we do this, and having you with us at these events made every moment sweeter.

As we look ahead to 2026, we can feel something big taking shape. Some events will feel familiar, others will be brand new but one thing is certain: Northern California will be seeing a lot more of Eutierria Essence. We’re dreaming bigger, building deeper, and continuing to grow with intention.

To everyone we met in 2025 you left a mark on our year, and we carry that gratitude forward with us.

Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to see where the roots grow next.

We can’t wait to step into 2026 and see what magic, growth, and beautiful surprises it has waiting for us.
