The Story Behind Happenstence: A Name Rooted in Serendipity and Passion

Welcome to Happenstence! If you've ever wondered about the origins of our unique name, you're not alone. We’ve received numerous inquiries about what "Happenstence" means and how it came to represent our brand. Today, we’re excited to share the story behind our name and the values it embodies.

The Birth of Happenstence

The journey of Happenstence began with a simple idea: to bring the joy of homebrewing, home gardening, and mushroom cultivation to enthusiasts in and around Austin, Texas. As passionate advocates of sustainable living and do-it-yourself projects, we wanted a name that reflected our commitment to these values while also conveying a sense of discovery and surprise.

The term "Happenstence" is a playful twist on the word "happenstance," which means a fortunate coincidence or serendipity. This name perfectly encapsulates the delightful surprises that come with growing your own microgreens, brewing your own beer, or cultivating your own mushrooms. Each step in these processes can lead to unexpected, rewarding outcomes – just like the journey of building our brand.
