So many of your favorite people are facing hard choices right now. Your secret crush probably wants a cookie for Christmas way more than AI powered ear muffs from Amazon. Spending your dollars locally keeps your neighbors afloat and your world a more vibrant place!

Numerous restaurants cite sluggish business, warn of closure if things don't improve.

Nuts for nuts? Try a slab of almond and walnut baklava this weekend! Toasty nuts get juicy with warming cinnamon and bright orange blossom for a mouth pleasure you shall surely seek again. Only 15 pieces available because I currently struggle with time, energy and resource allocation. Come early to secure one for your bod and soul.

Did you know that rice crispy treats are my favorite? I ran out of containers for cakes this week so I put a sweet spin on a savory Empress classic and whipped up some SESAME & MILLET crispy treats. Made with brown butter and tahini for extra roasty toasty goodness. Come try one!

Hot tip, your valentine obviously wants cheese. So, ditch the chocolate and head to for a steeeeaamy Hank’s hot wheel or a hot n toasty cheddar scallion scone. Fine, we got cookies for babies with a sweet tooth, too. Happy V day. I LOVE YOU 😍

I wish my arms were long enough to hug you all at once but I would look weird and be an outcast so I guess I’ll just say, thank you forever for being part of my great snack experiment. Life is so good and enriched beyond measure by your presence in it. Gobble gobble I’m a vegetarian and I love you. Happy thanksgiving 🦃

As the seasons change and another year of markets ends for us, we want to thank you for all of the kindness, encouragement and support you’ve thrown behind our little project. The fact that you spend your hard earned money at our stand week after week continues to blow my mind and my heart wide open. Thanks for being nice and generous and making me feel loved and brave. We’ll miss you this winter😍
Thank you thank you thank you,
Hannah & Ben
