B and B Farm Supply and LaLa Belle's in Langlois
C'est Vert in Bandon
The Hard Rain Cafe in Port Orford
The Wooden Nickel in Port Orford

Many thanks to Redfish restaurant for their contiued support of our tomato crop! Patrick makes a fabulous tomato plate from them as well working wonders with our honey in his innovative and delicious dishes.
Please check out the website of our first web customer, Sabina Louise Pierce, world class photographer and author of the upcoming book "Lick Your Plate", a photo essay and cookbook about celebrity chefs around the country who cook for their dogs. This is going to be a must have for anyone who loves cooking and/ or dogs, and who among us is not one of THOSE?
It is not too early to start thinking about Christmas. Remember that we offer custom gift baskets of all-Oregon products that you will actually USE! (How many of us have little cans and jars of strange products from Christmases past jammed in the back of cupboards that we don't really know what to do with?!). We will do large or small, full baskets to stocking stuffers, and will have a price list ready soon.
Remember that the honey business is one of the few cruelty-free industries out there, and you can feel good about using and giving this remarkable product.

Hints from our customers...
The Cranberry Festival was a busy and very successful weekend. One of the nice by-products of selling to the public is the many useful recipes and hints that we get. Here are a few.
John Gamble addressed the issue of crystalization, that natural but, to some people, irritating hardening of honey. John, rather than damage the honey by overheating it in the microwave or going through the trouble of warming it in hot water on the stove, simply tightens down the lid and tosses it in the dishwasher on the top rack. Result?? Perfectly restored (and very clean) honey. This is the best way I have ever heard to take care of the problem; now I have to reprint all my crystalization cards... Thanks, John!!
Terri Kranick and Marci Murray of the Cranberry Compost Company (CranberryCompostComany.com) made me a wonderful lunch of a rice cake spread first with our Meadowfoam honey, and then topped with Laughing Cow Soft Swiss Cheese. Wow! I am always inspired by our customers' imagination. Thank you, girls!
Last but oh-so-not least: Chubby Girl Cheesecake(chubbygirlcheesecakes.com). OPwner Susan Christiansen does things with our Meadowfoam honey and cream cheese that should be illegal! Her Meadowfoam Cheesecake is everything that you'd always hoped that vanilla fudge would be but wasn't. I heard on rather stiff looking matron say that it was "orgasmic", and there were simply lines of people at her booth. She sold out both days, not only of the Meadowfoam, but her fresh raspberry and double chocolate with lavender as well. If you want to have the most amazingly indulgent holiday food, or if you want a gift that will earn you BIG BIG points, this is the one. She ships. 1-541-982-2690. Susan, this is the BEST cheesecake I have ever had, EVER EVER!!
Thanks to everyone who made the weekend a success!
