Thank you Tall Timber Days Festival! So many of our customers told us they were so happy that we were there so they could stock up on their favorite flavors again. We are also so appreciative that many of you brought along your family and friends to our tent to introduce them to our licorice and sample any of the six flavors that we brought along. The proof of the quality of the licorice we sell can only be proven by tasting it. Otherwise it's just shiny bags of licorice laying on the table! We will be back again in 2027 in the same space. In the meantime, licorice love to all! Mike, MJ & Chris

We're sorry to say that we won't be in Ely due to this year's Blueberry Festival being canceled. Our hearts go out to the community and all of the artists who depend on this event for their livelihood.

The weather was hot and a little smoky from the Canadian fires, but it was wonderful to see our local customers return to our tent again this year for their favorite flavors along with making many new ones as well. Thank you again Stillwater along with event coordinators Brian and Steve.

One bite is all it takes to Taste the Difference. Our small-batch licorice is made without wax or fillers, with less sugar and fewer calories than many traditional brands. Whether you're a fan of classic Red, bold Black, spicy Cinnamon, Blue Raspberry, Green Apple, or Root Beer, we've got a flavor with your name on it.

💬 Challenge: Bring a friend who says they don't like licorice. Let them try ours—we love changing minds!

Stop by, sample your favorites, and take home a bag (or three). We can't wait to see you in Lakeville!
