One year ago, Rustic Roots Kitchen was just an idea fueled by a dream, a love of food, family recipes, and a desire to build something meaningful while raising my son.
Today, I can officially say we’ve been in business for one year!
What started with a handful of meal prep orders has grown into catering weddings, private dinners, celebrations of life, corporate lunches, community events, and serving hundreds of people throughout Vermont and beyond. There have been long nights, early mornings, moments of doubt, and more lessons than I could ever count. But there has also been an incredible amount of support, encouragement, and kindness from this community.
To every customer who placed an order, shared a post, recommended my business, trusted me with your special events, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines, thank you! You have helped turn a dream into a reality.
Rustic Roots Kitchen is more than just food. It’s family recipes, Vermont roots, hard work, community, and the belief that good food brings people together. It has allowed me to create a life centered around my family while doing what I love every day.
Most importantly, because so many of you believed in me, supported my business, and chose Rustic Roots Kitchen, I was able to spend the first year and a half of my son’s life with him by my side while still pursuing the career I love. That is a gift I will never be able to fully put into words. The time, memories, and moments I’ve been given with him are something I will carry with me forever, and I have all of you to thank for helping make that possible.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting this young mother, first-time business owner, and her little dream.
Here’s to Year Two!!
