3 totally new micro batch hot sauces!
We have three totally new microbatch hot sauces this month. They have only existed in our brains prior to their creation. And they are just yummy.

A phone call I wasn't expecting

Meet Me! Owner, Founder and CEO
I'm Claire Georges, owner, founder and CEO of Butterfly Bakery of Vermont. I'm the one who sends out the newsletters and manages social media - I also wear about 50 other hats at any given moment, so my head is always warm.
From goat to jar. It's personal.
What I'm eating

Small farms, big flavor
Small farms are more than just a place that grows food. They enrich the soil and the fabric of their communities while giving us a more resilient foodshed.
