MONTGOMERY COUNTY (WPVI) — In honor of Women’s History Month, the Valley Forge Visitors and Convention Board puts the spotlight on a few of the many women-owned businesses in the county.
At The Grand Fromage in Skippack, owner Celestin Holmberg carries cheeses made everywhere from Pennsylvania to around the world. Her specialty shop also carries a variety of gourmet goods to make any cheeseboard special, and she can make custom cheese platters to-order.
At Plant 4 Good in Ardmore, former nurse Carolyn Vachani specializes in house plants, and carries everything you need to get started with gardening — including vegetable and herb seeds. She has a certificate in ‘therapeutic horticulture’ and shares her knowledge of the health benefits of plants and gardening with beginners and green thumbs alike.
In Hatboro, Cyrenity Sips Winery is the first Black woman-owned winery in Pennsylvania. Owner and Head Winemaker, Shakia Williams, starts with grapes from regions like California and Italy, then crafts and presents the wines — from fermentation, to corking and labeling. Her urban winery also offers both self-guided and educational tastings, and is a growing presence on the wine scene across the country. Once a month, the Shakia hosts an event at the winery where guests bottle, cork, and label their own wines.
