An intro for all…

My name is Honi and I am the mom to the two best children in the world. I am sorry if you think that your kids are the best, but mine win. Hands down. I work hard to make sure that everyday is a great day for these wonderful children.

Now I have to back up and tell a little story…

Two years ago at the Waterbury, VT Farmer’s Market my son (then age 3) saw and wanted some Vermont Peanut Butter. That sounded good to me. I would much rather buy him a jar of peanut butter than a lot of other goodies a 3 year old might ask for. I had a bit of sticker shock after seeing the cost of the super healthy peanut/almond butter that he picked out. But I thought that we should give it a try. We loved it. No surprise there. We used it for sandwiches and as a dip for fruit and pretzels. That jar of peanut butter gave me the idea to start this blog.

I want to buy all of my products locally, from local Vermont farmers, bakers, and makers. I also want to buy all organic. In today’s hard economic time I simply can not do this.  But I am going to try.

I am setting out to test, sample, taste, and try as many Vermont made products as I can.  I want to find Vermont made products that I love and make the switch to buy. Try Vermont first, BUY Vermont first. I want to put money into the pocket of my neighbors from Jay to Readsboro.
I also want to introduce you to new Vermont made products. Tell you how to get these products  and possibly even share samples with you!
