Farmer's Market Weekend & WholeyOats News

Happy Friday to everyone....I hope this past week proved to be a good one for all.   Some of you have been wondering where I've been the past weeks, well I am happy to say I will be at the Amenia Farmer's Market this Saturday, February 4th.  The location is the Amenia Town Hall, right off of Rte. 22 and the market is open from 10:00-2:00.

So what's been happening in the world of WholeyOats??  Well I have been cranking along working hard to build this business locally and, well "not so" locally.  I was contacted a week or so ago by a business in Brooklyn that is looking to carry WholeyOats granola bars, wow!  Needless to say I was blown away by that, in a good way of course.  I've been approached by a woman's tennis club in Dutchess County that is interested in serving WholeyOats granola bars at their tournaments, woohoo so excited about that one!  It's just when you think things may slow down a bit, it surprises you in many ways.  I am also going to tease a little by saying there is a good sized market in NYC that may be interested in WholeyOats, keep your fingers crossed, I would be "over the moon" if this became a reality and I will make sure you all are the first ones to hear about it.

With that said, I am looking for a bigger kitchen.  It appears I am outgrowing my digs and need to expand, just a little.  I have made the commitment to keep my granola business small ensuring that each and every batch of granola and granola bars are handmade by yours truly, no if's, and's or whatever's - me and only me!  I have heard one too many times how it all changes when other hands are involved and that could not be more true than with baking or cooking.  A bigger kitchen will allow me to do more in the same amount of time, so here's hoping I find something close by as I would like to stay in Wingdale.

That's all for now.  Thanks for reading and I hope to see you tomorrow, I really miss everyone.
