☕️ Business Visit Spotlight ☕️
Today the Prairieland CEO class visited Tea & Grounds, owned by Bernadette Ray. Bernadette is determined to bring hand-crafted espresso drinks and quality teas to Gibson City, IL, while being a source of joy, encouragement, and positivity in the community.
During our visit, Bernadette shared her journey of turning a dream into reality — from building a brand centered on warmth and connection to creating a space where people can slow down and truly enjoy the moment. Her commitment to quality, community, and kindness is evident in every cup she serves.
A key takeaway from our visit was how important it is to build a business not just on products, but on purpose and people. Bernadette’s story reminded us that success often begins with a simple vision — and grows when fueled by passion, perseverance, and heart.
Thank you, Bernadette, for welcoming us in and inspiring us with your story, energy, and impact! And the free drinks for us were a special bonus and absolutely AMAZING!!!
