Figure I would throw out an update about where we are at. Made it through our first season of vending. It was an eye opener for sure. Learned that up is down, what should work doesn't most times and when people actually finally do come they come in herds. We grinded out most every Saturday and Sunday at our Farmer Market. Rain, sucks. Hot, sucks. Humidity, sucks. Cold, sucks. Wind, sucks really bad! But we managed and did really well. Now we are into Bridal Show season. Did you know there was such a thing, me either. Well I do now. I also learned you absolutely, Absolutley, need a permit even for this. Don't fight it. Just do it. I call now to see about if I need one to make a PB&J for my kid before bed. Just to make sure. So this Sunday is the start of Bridal shows. Have 2 scheduled in January and 2 in Feb. Hopefully that gets us some catering gigs lined up for Fall. We have 4 already on the books. Holidays we did turkey's and the fixin's for some corporate and a few private gigs. Did our first "tasting" for a couple for their reception. Another humbling moment knowing these people drove an hour away ate our food, we gave them a price, and they said yep we love it. So overall a great first year. It has been slow going in ways of wanting to be bigger but taking our time. So far we have $0 debt. We own everything we have. Which is a great feeling. We even have enough for a year lease somewhere to do a small catering kitchen and tasting room that would be ours and not have to rent out time at another place. So that is us in a nutshell. Nothing to flashy or fancy. Just low and slow progress. I'll leave you guys with some pics I don't think I have posted yet. Feel free to message or ask anything you want. I'll try to make something up that sounds good.
