Reflecting - Lessons Learned as an Apprentice

Reflecting - Lessons Learned as an Apprentice

My first day in the restaurant business was not the best day of my life. In the weeks and months to follow, I learned that there would be a lot of ups, downs and teachable moments in my career that would lead to my eventual success. Now, 50 years later I am thankful for the journey that lead me here and I am so glad to be sharing my passion with all of you on my newest adventure.

Perfecting the Blends & Starting a Business

One might imagine that after working as a Chef for 50 years it's quite easy to put together some spice blends, divide them up into jars, stick labels on them and start selling - but, as we've learned, there's a lot more to it than that! The past few weeks have been surreal - from the first samples going out in the Deer Run Farm Father's Day Kits and CSA's (thanks to the Skrabek family), to launching our new website - this adventure is all new to us and we cannot wait to share it with you. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi there! Happy [almost] Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate gratitude and give thanks to the things that are important to us. It is a time to celebrate the harvest from local farmers, the food on your table and the life you share with your loved ones.
