OH, Forks!™ Spring 2018 Updates
Welcome Spring and our BUSIER than EVER market season! We just completed our second year at the Gypsy Soul Vintage Market, and we were blown away by the number of customers, orders placed, and new business relationships created! With over one thousand tickets sold, we were sold out by early Saturday afternoon! If you were one who came on Sunday of Gypsy, we apologize for not having the full market line-up both days! Two day events are tricky for bakers, especially bakers with chronic illnesses like myself. It really poses a challenge for MORE baking after a sell-out. But wow, just wow. I never knew the impact OH, Forks! Was having on our community! We love the open, welcome arms!
Our presentation was also great! We discussed gluten, Celiac disease, why wheat affects people differently AND we had some pretty amazing samples on board, too! After our main presentation, we walked around the arenas passing out more samples and chatting with more people about gluten and our company. Wow, was I ever impressed by my children, who spouted off all of my business information like it’s been ingrained in their souls. (I swear I didn’t purposely do this; they just really love #OHFORKS, too!) My entrepreneur spirit was so bright seeing their business minds working and acting.
There are so many things on our horizon this year! We’ll be attending some new markets this year, and returning to those we were at last year! And we’ll be extending our season through the end of the year! Plus, you can always order for pickup at our year-round roadside stand or local delivery and more of our items will become shippable, too!
On top of markets, we’ve also been publishing and working on new cookbooks! The beginning of this year brought our re-printed, re-vamped OH, Forks!™ A Little Bit of Everything and All That’s Gluten Free color and black&white paperback cook books! This was an important and much needed project, as it brought this book back in to my hands for publishing and control. We are aiming for one more cook book release this year. As of now, the OH, Forks!™ Soups, Stews & Smoothies will be arriving towards the Fall. This one will be a compilation of the soups, softs and smoothies that have kept me going for the past five years or so with dealing with digestive disorders and disease. My ultimate goal is to put out recipes people with illnesses like myself can tolerate and thrive from.
Slowly but surely we are still populating our #RadicalRecipes on the web site, and loading as many as we can when we can. Our next LARGE event is with the Haute Gathering Markets at the Allen County Fairgrounds on May 19th, 2018 in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
We appreciate your continued support and patience as we grow into the new and unknown! What an amazing and crazy ride it has been so far!
