In the heart of our neighborhood stands a beacon of community and wellness, the Happy Hippy Haus (HHH), owned and nurtured by Sam, a visionary with a mission to spread the benefits of CBD and natural products. As we approach April, not just any month for HHH but its 6th anniversary, it's a time to reflect on the journey, the growth, and the impactful connections formed along the way.
Sam embarked on this journey on April 20, 2018, with a simple but powerful goal: to share with the community the advantages of CBD over traditional marijuana, focusing on health without compromise. From the outset, Sam was committed to authenticity and quality, insisting on products free from artificial colors and ingredients. This dedication to purity and excellence has led to the creation of HHH's own brand, Hemp & Stone, a testament to Sam's relentless pursuit of the best.
Over the years, HHH has become more than a business; it's a hub where people from all walks of life, ranging in age from 21 to the 90s, come together. Each year, HHH celebrates its establishment not just as a milestone but as an opportunity to deepen its connection with the community. Traditionally, this celebration has taken the form of a party, but this year, Sam has envisioned something different, something more enduring: a community flower garden.
The inspiration behind the garden stems from a desire to create a space for relaxation, reading, and simply enjoying the company of others. It's a project born from Sam's aspiration to give back to the community that has supported HHH throughout its existence. The garden, adorned with over 300 plants lovingly planted with the help of volunteers like Johnny, Bre, and the support of local businesses and organizations, is a symbol of community spirit and collective effort.
This new space invites guests and community members to bring their own books, chairs, or just themselves, to enjoy the beauty and tranquility it offers. It's a place where nature meets nurture, attracting bees, butterflies, and all who seek a moment of peace or a connection to nature.
As we celebrate the 6th anniversary of HHH on April 20th, Sam has chosen to forego the traditional party in light of the expansion of a nearby highway, instead focusing on creating a lasting legacy through the community garden. This decision reflects a deep-seated belief in giving back and fostering a sense of belonging among both the "happy hippies" and the "occasional hippies" of our community.
In lieu of a party, HHH will be offering double loyalty reward points throughout April, a gesture of appreciation from Sam to the HHH family. This initiative, along with the invitation to hang out at HHH, underscores the ethos of the Happy Hippy Haus: a place of welcome, wellness, and warmth.
As we look forward to the unfolding of spring and the growth of the new community garden, it's clear that Happy Hippy Haus is more than a store; it's a cornerstone of the community, a place where growth, in all its forms, is celebrated and cherished. So, let's come together, enjoy the garden, and continue to support the vision that Sam has cultivated—a vision of wellness, community, and happiness for all.
