The shop rolled it's way through the holidays, weathered some snow at the new year that caused us to close early some days, and wish we were closed others, but we have emerged in 2010 into a sweet spot. We are very excited for the year ahead.
To kick it off, we will be one-year-old on Feb. 26! There will be some sort of minor celebration on Saturday, February 27. We don't have all the details hammered out, but there will likely be drink specials, giveaways (probably through facebook,) and buy a drink get a free cookie! If you have not tried one of our cookies (made in house) this is the perfect opportunity to. Simple and delicious.
Thinking of baked goods, one of the changes over the last couple months has been a switch in our in-house baker. Jolinda left us in December, and we were joined by Rachel. In addition to baking some of the items we had been offering, Rachel has begun making vegan options, muffins, and some interesting new cookies.
The composting efforts have been going really well. The main challenge has been letting customers know about it, and learn how quick and easy it is to separate their trash. We have plenty of signage (I like signs...) and always look for an opportunity to chat with people about it. We have even had some local groups and other businesses take an interest in it, and want to learn more! That is so great!
The eggnog drinks came and went over the holidays, and the last couple weeks have been lower production milk weeks for the cows. Unfortunately that has meant very limited flavored milk. Apparently though, those issues should be over, so we are hoping to get all flavors of milk back in stock soon! We've missed them. As of this post we have chocolate and root beer milk from Shatto, and we always have flavored syrups.
On a personal note, for any of you who haven't spied me at the shop recently, we are expecting a baby girl to join our family this spring! We couldn't be more delighted to add another member to our family. We might not be around much for a month or so around her birth, but we love our staff, and they keep things running very well when we can't be there. Once she's past a month old, I'm sure she will be my tiny companion while I take care of business...just no hot drinks around her!
That's it for now. I will try to keep up on letting everyone know what is happening in our world a little bit better this year. I mainly update our Facebook fan page, because it is such an easy way to get the word out about most things.
Hope you all have been well.
