Tomorrow everyone will be relaxing and eating. Hopefully they will be thankful as well. I am amazed at the response our cookies have had in the region and I'm very thankful for the support I have, my friends and everyone I am meeting on this awesome journey. May your Thanksgiving be one of joy and merriment. Enjoy!

Our cookies are now available at Northville Market in New Milford and at the Litchfield Farmer's Market on Route 202, every Saturday in 2010 and every other Saturday in 2011.

An Auspicious Beginning

When I was shown this warehouse space, the realtor told me the broken, upside-down television left on the small deck next to the back door would be removed, once they killed the bees. I looked out the window to realize they were honeybees. I found this to be a sign of good luck, immediately put in an offer and when it was accepted asked the owner to leave the set and the bees alone. He agreed although he thinks I'm crazy. We now have our own beehive, in its special envelope, and when I look out the window and see them buzzing about on warm days, I smile with joy. We hope they make it through the winter and plan to move them when we can to a more protected environment, like my friend's farmland in Bethlehem.

Savor cookies are now available at Northville Market in New Milford, CT

Our final outdoor market for the season was last Saturday in Torrington. We will miss the our customers and fellow vendors. Now is the time to work on our warehouse and office space. Thank you for a wonderful beginning!

Roasting leeks for our new cookie

One hundred pounds of leek reduce to approximately six after our roasting process. This week we continue on our path to bring new and delicious flavors to our customers.

A fabulous season

Hi Everyone,
Well, it's been a fabulous summer season. It's almost over, but it's been a great beginning. Since we started in late July, we've given samples in Waterbury, Torrington, Thomaston, Watertown and Collinsville farmer's markets and have had a steady presence in all five. We've just acquired a storage facility including an office and potentially our own kitchen, (a future project). Our website is being constructed as we speak. We now produce over six thousand cookies a week and are introducing 4 new flavors: Smoked Yellow Onion, Gluten-free Coconut Ginger, Gluten-free Olive and a chocolate orange spice called Krakatoa. Our seasonal run of Smoked Red Onion has continually sold out and the earliest shipment we can receive will be in July of next year. Along with the aforementioned flavors, we carry Coconut Ginger, Cinnamon Orange, Black Olive, Olive and Orange, and Lavender. Peppermint Raisin will end it's run at the end of the season as well. So if you're interested in having some, please come to one of the last markets of the season or email us.
Our calendar for the fall is beginning to fill up as well. Please come see us at any of the following events and stay updated :
Torrington Farmer's Market, Torrington - Saturday, October 9
