Delicious treats
We have some wonderful sweets in the store, thanks to a local company called "Sarah's Sweets." Each chocolate is hand rolled and dipped, some are then drizzled with a contrasting color. All of her candies are attractively packaged, so they are just as pretty to look at as they are to eat and they make great gifts!! Currently we have Coconut Bon Bons, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fudge, Buckeyes, Chocolate Pretzel sticks, Peanut Clusters, and several different brittles. Stop by and check them out - they are yummy!!
Bread and sweets
The bread that we use in our deli is from the local Blue House Bakery, who provides us with fresh bread and sweets! We use her wheat bread for the store sandwiches, and will be selling loaves as well.
