OH, Forks! The End of the Market Season & October 2018 Updates It’s hard to believe that our 2018 busy market season has ended! Oh, what a learning season it was! Between the vehicle troubles and constant Saturday rains, we had a heck of a time getting out to set up! Regardless of those setbacks, we still had a great time tossing up our Beetlejuice tent in all of the cities all over town! We are so grateful to the following markets for hosting us, and hope to join them again next year! Leo […]
OH, Forks!™ Recommends: Perfect Earth Foods Recently we were contacted to test and try some new #glutenfree pasta from Perfect Earth Foods. We received four styles of their pasta: red rice, brown rice, and two varieties of their chia pasta noodles. For our first creation, we used the red rice pasta and the brown rice Pad Thai chia noodles, and we opted to make a new Peri-Peri Shrimp & Vegetables pasta dish. The pasta cooked very well, giving a great bite-texture with no gummi-ness or extra starchy texture (as in so many other […]
OH, Forks!™ Here Comes Summer! ~ Have you heard?! Summer is coming, which includes our crazy farmer’s market season! I decided I’d better take the morning to get some important #OHFORKS work done and properly protect and secure hundreds of my recipes. It dawned on me this past weekend that I had books and notebooks full of hand-written recipes, half-recipes, half-creations and half-thoughts just strewn throughout the house. Well, after a few hours of sticking my nose to the grind, everything is backed up, saved and protected once more. (Insert sigh here.) I should probably […]
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 […]
OH, Forks!™ 2017 Reflections Wow, what a year this was! Our first major market season, tons of events, opening new online store fronts, charity events, and making big plans & taking actions ALL happened this year. I had no real idea just how much work market season would be, or the wonderful customer base and friendships I would develop in just a year! I underestimated just how busy #OHFORKS would be through the summer season, and even more when it came to holiday orders. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this amazing, growing business! As […]

OH, Forks! It’s so Hard to say Goodbye to Summer Markets! With one market left to go this week on Wednesday, I finally had some time to sit and let this market season sink in! When I first began this adventure and seeing how OH, Forks! products would do, I had no clue at the demand, the want, or the regular customer base I would grow in just over three short months. Because of this, I have done some planning to make our roadside stand a year-long venture, taking online orders for pickup and limited […]
OH, Forks!™ Summer 2017 Updates Whew! Finally a moment to sit and quickly update the site! Our first weeks at our local farmer’s markets have been more than a success, and are keeping us VERY busy! Both of our locations in New Haven, IN and in Roanoke, IN sell out almost every week, regardless of rain or shine! (Or the incredible Indiana humidity…) It is such a pleasure to see the same faces coming back for more, and leaving us stellar reviews all over social media platforms! We appreciate your support, and will see […]
OH, Forks!™ March 2017 Updates What a year 2017 has been so far! No complaints from me, as being busy is a sure sign that business is moving in the right direction, and growing as it should be. The website (www.ohforks.com) has been populated with lots of FREE recipes and food ideas, with more to come. In February, we had a sampling and book signing event at the Bookmark in Fort Wayne, and could share our message of healthy, allergen compatible eating with new friends and businesses alike. We were interviewed while we were there, […]
OH, Forks!™ October 2016 Updates Hey everyone! As always, thanks for checking in, and for the continued support as I step through the many levels of growing a food oriented business! Some of you are still awaiting your sample orders, and I apologize for the wait! They are still coming, and will be with you before the event ends! I ran into some trouble mailing to Canada, so I’ll be attempting that again soon, too. Things have been hectic and busy between the kids, life, school, and my crazy medical woes. I appreciate all […]
