🍑 We’re feeling JUST PEACHY.

Our new Peach + White Chocolate Fried Bread Pudding is finished with cinnamon powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream & a honey drizzle.

And because more peach is always a good idea, pair it with a glass of Just Peachy from Well Hung Vineyard. 🍷🍑

Peach-on-peach perfection. Available while it lasts!

Nine years later, we remember August 12, 2017.

We remember the hatred and violence that came to Charlottesville. We remember those who were harmed, and we honor the life of Heather Heyer.

And we remember the community that stood—and continues to stand—against hate.

At FIREFLY, these words remain more than a sign on our wall. They are values we carry with us:

Science is real.
Black Lives Matter.
No human is illegal.
Love is love.
Women’s rights are human rights.
Kindness is everything.

Today, we remember. We choose love, community, inclusion, and kindness—today and every day. ❤️
