In Community

Yesterday, the heart of West Berkeley came alive with the sights, sounds, and energy of the 2025 Gilman District Street Fair. For District Homes, it marked our third consecutive year as a vendor-and, for the first time, our debut as proud sponsors of this vibrant community event.

We spent a day surrounded by neighbors, friends, clients and colleagues.

Our booth was a hub of activity, and we want to thank our fellow women-owned local companies that provided some of our giveaways:

• The Bar Method Berkeley and owner Helen Liu, who provided class passes and 

• Tessier Winery and winemaker Kristie Tacey, whose science-inspired, locally sourced wines made for coveted prizes for the adults (the kids preferred our Berkeley Bowl snacks :-)

Also thank you to our new friend and booth neighbor, Emily Becker, a talented local ceramicist for her beautiful handmade mug, now a lovely addition to our office collection. We can't wait to find ways to collaborate with her in the future.

Events like the Gilman District Street Fair remind us why we love working where we live. They offer a chance to celebrate local talent, support small businesses, and strengthen the bonds that make our community unique. 

Let's keep building, supporting, and celebrating this wonderful community together in events like this - or the many we hope to sponsor and be a part of in the future.

In the meantime, feel free to stop by our office, we always love to share our tea collections with friends old and new.
