🚨 OFFICIAL VALLEY GRAZE HR ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

After careful consideration, absolutely no meetings, zero paperwork and a completely one sided decision…

TASHA HAS BEEN FIRED.

Effective immediately.

Her list of offences is extensive:

• Butchering innocent songs beyond recognition
• Being a pain in my ass
• Talking back to management
• Calling me old
• Working WAY too hard and making the rest of us look bad
• Knowing what needs to be done without being asked
• Making my job approximately 97% easier
• Somehow becoming the little sister I never asked for
• Making us laugh when we should probably be working
• And worst of all…

BECOMING FAMILY AND THEN HAVING THE AUDACITY TO LEAVE.

Absolutely unacceptable behaviour.

Would not recommend as an employee.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unfortunately, 5 stars.

Tasha, you have left a giant Tasha sized hole at Valley Graze and quite frankly, I’m pi**ed about it.

Who am I supposed to yell at now?

Who is going to butcher the songs?

WHO IS GOING TO DO ALL THE THINGS BEFORE I EVEN REALIZE THE THINGS NEED TO BE DONE?!

So yes.

Tasha is fired.

Please return your apron, your keys and approximately 47% of my heart on your way out.

Effective immediately, you are banned from being a Valley Team member!

Unfortunately for you, you’re stuck being family.

Best of luck with your post secondary education, Tasha. ❤️ We are ridiculously proud of you and cannot wait to see what you do next.

I hope you learn lots, make amazing friends, chase all your dreams…

…and have absolutely HORRIBLE coffee every single day at school.

You deserve it.

Now get out. 😭❤️☕️

P.S. This is why Valley Graze doesn’t have an HR department.

🚨 REMINDER — WE’RE CLOSED! 🚨

Valley Graze is CLOSED today, Saturday September 5 through Monday September 7.

Our crew is taking a little extra long weekend while some of our Valley Graze babies head back to high school and post-secondary. 🥹❤️

We’ll be back Tuesday, September 8, caffeinated and ready to see you!

Have a great long weekend, Merritt! ❤️☕️

🌹 FAVOURITE CUSTOMER FRIDAY MEET ROSE! 🌹

I first met Rose back when I was hustling out of my basement, making charcuterie and catering wherever I could. I had the opportunity to cater for her community, and she quickly became one of my favourite people to run into when I was dropping off orders.

Rose has had some absolutely unbearable things happen in her life things that could easily make someone shut the world out. But somehow, she has never let those things stop her from showing up for the people and causes she cares so deeply about.

What I admire most about Rose is that even on the days when I know life feels incredibly heavy for her, she still takes the time to ask how you are doing. ❤️

Rose, thank you for always checking in. Thank you for caring about your community. Thank you for continuing to show up, even when showing up isn’t easy.

You are one incredibly strong woman, and I am so grateful that my little basement hustle brought you into my life.

Happy Favourite Customer Friday, Rose. ❤️

📣 THIS FRIDAY Sept 4📯
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

⏰ 4:30–8:00 PM

Come hang out with us and support your neighbours! ❤️

We have over 20 amazing vendors showcasing their hobbies, talents and skills. From baking, crocheting, girl guide cookies, pottery, art and sewing to plants, clothing and so much more, there really is something for everyone!

And the Valley Graze team…
Okay, mostly just Michelle 😂… will be spending the week cooking up a BIG batch of chilli! 🌶️

🥣 Chilli will be BY DONATION, with all donations going to our local Food Bank.

Shop local. Eat some chilli. Support the Food Bank. Visit with your neighbours. Buy something handmade. ❤️

Small towns are pretty special when we show up for each other.

Let’s pack the place and show these vendors some LOVE!

See you Friday from 4:30–8:00!

🚨 WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM NOT HANDLING IT WELL. 🚨

Apparently FIVE yes, FIVE of our staff have decided to ABANDON Valley Graze for something called “education.” 🙄😂

High school Futures. Blah blah blah.

And somehow, OUR BABIES AREN’T BABIES ANYMORE. 😭

Three are GRADUATING this year.
Two are heading into Grade 10.
And TWO OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY MINE. 😭😂

So not only am I losing staff… I’m having a full blown mom crisis at the same time.

WHO ALLOWED THIS?!

I swear five minutes ago these kids were little, and now they’re working, driving, graduating, heading off to school and making plans for their futures like a bunch of responsible young adults.

I DID NOT APPROVE THIS GROWING UP NONSENSE.

So next weekend, Valley Graze will be CLOSED Saturday–Monday.

We’re giving these amazing humans an extra long weekend to get ready for the transition back to school.

And apparently I need the extra day to cry, look through old pictures, wonder where the time went, panic about who is covering their shifts, and dramatically announce “MY BABIES!” to anyone willing to listen. 😭😂

In all seriousness, I am ridiculously proud of these kids. Watching them work hard, grow up, become part of our Valley family and head toward some pretty amazing futures is something really special.

But I would like to formally request that they all STOP GROWING UP IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you.

So please don’t show up Saturday and press your sad little face against the window looking for coffee.

CLOSED SATURDAY Sept 5–MONDAY Sept 7

Back Tuesday understaffed, over caffeinated and emotionally unstable.

WE’RE FINE.

😭☕️😂❤️

🌟 Favourite Customer Friday! 🌟

Okay, we seriously don’t know anyone kinder than Jim. ❤️

We first met Jim when he started dropping off the coolest little 3D printed dinosaurs for our customers. Little did he know, those dinosaurs would quickly become the ultimate negotiation tool for parents trying to convince their kids it was time to leave the Kids Corner. 😂🦖

Honestly, I bet Jim’s little dinosaurs are scattered in homes all across Canada by now!

But that’s just the kind of guy Jim is. He’s also shown up on hot summer days with cold treats for our staff, just because. No reason, no special occasion simply because he’s Jim. 🥹

How did we get so lucky to have customers who turn into friends like this?

Jim, thank you for your kindness, your generosity, the smiles you bring to our shop, and for supplying parents with some much needed bargaining power. 😂🦖

We are so lucky to call you a friend. ❤️

Happy Favourite Customer Friday, Jim!

🎄 It feels like Christmas Eve over here!!

PETIT CREEK BREAD IS BACK AT VALLEY GRAZE TOMORROW MORNING!! 🥖🤍

We are SO happy to have Scott and Brooke back home and Petit Creek Bakery back doing what they do best.

I can’t even imagine what the last month has felt like for these two, having their home and everything they’ve worked so hard for threatened by fire, and living with that uncertainty for weeks.

We’re just so incredibly thankful they are home, safe, and baking again. ❤️

And tomorrow morning… THE BREAD IS BACK! Sandwiches back to Valley Graze standards.

And YES… they stocked us up with sausage rolls too. Or stalked us, depending on how excited we are. 😉😂

Fresh bread + Petit Creek sausage rolls = basically Christmas morning at Valley Graze.

Come grab your favourites and show this incredibly hardworking local couple some love. 🤍

Welcome home, Scott & Brooke. We missed you guys!

THANK YOU, MERRITT! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who took the time to give a shout out to some of the amazing people and organizations in our community. There were so many heartwarming nominations, and reading through them honestly made our day. 🥹

I hope everyone who was nominated felt the love and appreciation they deserve!

We originally planned to choose one winner… but there were just too many deserving nominations. So, of course, we couldn’t pick just one! 😂

We loaded up TWO trays of Valley Graze goodies and dropped them off to spread a little extra love. 🍪❤️

This right here is why I love living in a small town. People notice each other. They appreciate each other. They show up for each other.

Merritt, you really are something special. ❤️

Thank you for helping us spread a little kindness in our community

🌟 TEAM MEMBER SHOUT OUT! 🌟

Meet Kalea! 💛 (how cute is this photo)

This absolute gem joined us for our crazy summer, and even though our time with her was way too short, we are SO thankful we got to have her as part of our Valley crew!

This is Kalea’s last week hanging out with us before she starts an exciting new chapter as a teacher! 🍎📚

If your child is lucky enough to have Miss Palmer as their teacher, just know they are going to be in GREAT hands. Her kindness, patience, work ethic and beautiful personality are going to make her one incredible teacher.

Kalea, thank you for jumping into the summer chaos with us, working hard, laughing with us and becoming part of our little Valley family. We are going to miss having you around!

We are so excited to see you start this next adventure. Your future students are very lucky to have you. ❤️

Thank you for spending your summer with us, Kalea! We’ll be cheering you on, Miss Palmer! 🍎✨

Favourite Customer Friday! ☕️🤎

Meet James, aka BJ!

This guy has been hanging out with the Valley Graze Crew pretty much since the day we opened. He seems to know EVERYONE in town, always stopping to say hello, check in, and catch up with whoever walks through the door.

And when we first opened and decided it would be a great idea to put an oversized tray through the dishwasher… and got it completely stuck 😂🤦‍♀️ BJ was right there helping us figure out how the heck to get it out.

Thanks for being part of the Valley Crew from the beginning, BJ. For the laughs, the visits, the helping hands and for always making the shop feel a little more like home. 🤎

Happy Favourite Customer Friday, BJ
