Happy Spring everyone! Never mind that March snow, it will be gone very soon 😁

A couple of announcements. My spring shows are as usual, Omaha April 10-12th and Shakopee April 17th-19th.

July has a change-I am so sorry to say that I won't be at Anoka Riverfest. My application didn't make it in time. However, I will still be visiting friends in Ramsey that weekend like I always do. I'll bring lots of product with me and can meet anybody anywhere in the Anoka area Friday evening-Sunday to get you what you need. Or I can get you a discounted postage rate and send it to you.

I will not be attending Ruttger's Oktoberfest this year. Instead I am trying out the Eagle River Cranfest in Wisconsin Oct. 3rd-4th. Again, please let me know if you regularly attend Ruttgers and need product. I can get you a discounted postage rate if you contact me directly. I appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you

Day one of the Autumn Festival at Canterbury Park is well underway. Hundreds of booths with handcrafted items for you to browse and purchase for yourself or holiday gifts. I have 8 jalapeño pepper jellies, 2 habanero, 1 ghost pepper, 17 jams/jellies and 8 low sugar jams to choose from. Something for everyone! Booth #265, upstairs and to the left. This weekend marks my 28th time (spring and fall!) setting up at this fun show 😁

My next three shows. See my website for booth locations. As mentioned recently, I have chokecherry once again! Pre-order to be sure you get what you want before it runs out

A gorgeous day to be outside for a fun Oktoberfest craft show at Ruttger's Bay Lodge. Open today until 5pm, tomorrow 9am-5pm. My booth number is 408 but looking at it from my chair, it spells Bob 😆

This is a huge reason why I have been terribly busy. I grew all my own produce for the pepper jellies I make. The project added quite a bit of time and commitment to my already very busy schedule but I can say that I grew these from seed, never sprayed them with chemicals and I chose non-GMO seeds. What a huge crop! My freezers are full

Hey you guys, I'm so sorry I haven't been posting for a long while. I have been extremely busy!! Ruttgers Oktoberfest is coming up this next weekend, Oct 17th-18th at Bay Lake Lodge. I have CHOKECHERRY JELLY once again-so happy about that 😁 Please preorder if you would like me to set aside something for you, then there's no worries about it being gone before you get to my booth. Great weather again this week, come on over to Oktoberfest and see me! Friday noon-5pm, Saturday 9-5. My booth is outside near The Garage/Ann's Bay Lake Boutique

I am set up in the parking lot west of the parking ramp, near the river
