At Pantry Hill, the practice of afternoon tea is simply about catching up. It’s a chance to check in, an intentional time to be present with friends, family, or oneself. Growing up, it was something, host Darien Rozell, and her family did every day. She continued that ritual with her own family. Now, Darien invites you to join her as she creates home. Each week she'll do this by tapping into knowledge from her ancestors, family and community over a cup or two. With every seed sown, meal cooked, room painted, and party hosted, Darien and her family are growing and learning. Welcome to Afternoon Tea.
I had no idea what to expect when I knocked on the door of my great, great grandmother's house that frigid winter's day. But what I found was a family who've not only cared for the home beautifully, uncovering its original 1700s features, they've ensured the property, including all 140 acres, is protected for generations to come. They've used the property to not only nourish their own family, but their community, just as Hannah did.
So much of what we do here at Pantry Hill is rooted in family tradition, and much of that from stories of Hannah on her working farm with her open door and open heart. Not just for her ten children, but their children and their children's children. A legacy of nurturing,
now five generations strong.

Handwritten & Handed Down | Chapter 7
I’m incredibly fortunate to come from a long line of hardworking women with big hearts and nurturing hands, who believe that the health of the overall family unit can impact generations and who have remained dedicated to keeping our history alive through family and food. Some of these women, like my grandma, I have been lucky enough to know, others, like her mother and grandmother, I’ve come to know through stories, traditions and recipes. I recently sat down with my grandmother to record some of those stories.
