"Recipe for success; rise early, work hard, strike oil"  J. Paul Getty  

This past year has been extraordinary.  I introduced many new items and met many new customers (mostly thanks to your referrals).  However, whenever I was visiting customers I heard the same thing; "We love your food; how can you make it easier to get in touch with you?" Since my goal is to provide you with the best quality food, I wanted to provide you with the best customer service as well.  This resulted in a new staff member, Meg.  Meg's responsibilities include calling each of you to let you know when I'll be in your area.  She's terrific and if you haven't heard from her yet, you will. 
This New Year I am thankful for all of my customers, and for your continued patronage, referrals, and helpful suggestions.  I hope you all had a Happy Holiday season and may you all have a Happy and Healthy New Year.    

New Items
The fall/winter season is upon us and we are adding some "comfort foods" to our line up.  One or our most popular is Chicken Pot Pies filled with white meat chicken (yes, actual chicken), peas, carrots and chicken gravy.  They are individual 6" pies; just heat-n-serve.  Make sure to ask about them on your next delivery!
