Want to give a huge thank you to my staff and my husband and son who helped yesterday it was an AMAZING day for us. Thank you to everyone waiting in line for their patience as we worked through the busy day and all the vendors and businesses who supported each other yesterday on the green. ❤️.

We have lots to offer again this morning .. still serving up the buckets with donuts until we are sold out. Happy Sunday.

Well Chester, you showed up AGAIN today!

Today was my most successful day since starting my sourdough journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful! I worked my butt off to make 65 loaves of bread, and by the end of the day, every single loaf was GONE!

The English muffins were gone by 11am, and I sold almost all of my snack mixes and other goodies too!

I truly can’t thank everyone enough for the incredible support today. Every purchase, kind word, and familiar face means so much to me and makes all the hard work worth it!

What a way to celebrate the 2026 Chester Special Vermont Food Festival. Already can’t wait for next year ♡
