First Time in Vendor Heaven

Tuggle Farms did our first tour as a vendor yesterday during the Garden Club's Historic Garden Tours. Another first, we brought on our first employee. We set up in the Spencer Penn Kitchen and Bob sold jams and jellies while Thad kept the pots boiling and fresh product coming. Thanks to Thad's skill as a cook, Bob was able to answer questions about canning and home preserving while the process never slowed down. We provided free samples of jams, jellies, preserves and salsa. Carrie Denny, the kitchen manager, provided homemade yeast rolls which enhanced the Tuggle Farms goods. How could someone not buy a jar after tasting jelly on a hot buttered yeast roll? All in all, a lot of hard work was involved, but the joy of providing local foods products, loving prepared was plenty of reward. Pictures will follow soon!
