We are so excited to be exhibiting at the IGES in November in Sevierville!

A beautiful backdrop of the Smoky Mtns while talking with potential new retail partners…it’s going to be awesome!

We went last year as attendees to check it out and met some really great people/brands. If you own a retail store and can make it, I definitely suggest it. You are sure to find something to add to your shelves 😃

Working on a new nut flavor today and it’s dang near perfect 🤩

I’m not a big fan of gingerbread typically and eat it in small doses but I am going to have a problem eating too many of these when we launch them this fall 🍂

Y’all…look at this beautiful cake Sweets By Caroline made. It’s almost too pretty to eat 😍

I mean don’t get me wrong, I know how delicious Caroline’s food is so way would I turn a piece down but I would admire how pretty it is for at least 15 seconds first 😂 🤤

Our new back labels means we’ve had another step in the right direction 😃

We have reached the point where we are required to have nutrition info on all of our nuts. This means we are growing and partnering with new stores almost weekly!

Having a barcode for each flavor option allows our retail partners to have the ease of scanning the product and setting their price in their POS system once and they don’t have to manually price each bag each time their orders get delivered.

Just one more way we aim to make our retail partnerships just a little bit more streamlined and efficient.

What a view I get to have this morning as I’m working 😍

Being an early bird definitely has perks. God blesses us with beauties like this on a regular basis and I’m so thankful I get to see a lot of them!

Hope y’all have an amazing day!

Happy Saturday y’all!

We started our day today by visiting our White County Farmer’s market to support some of the amazing local small businesses we have in the area.

We got some delicious red velvet cookies from Em’s Baked Goods. I say we but really it’s me since Bill is allergic to chocolate and I have no problem taking one for the team and eating them all 😂

Then we got the cutest crochet opossum and Winnie the Pooh for my momma. I’m pretty sure she’s going to have all of Winnie’s friends before too long. These are so cute and make great gifts. I can’t tag her for some reason but I’ve included a photo of Amanda’s card if you want to reach out.

Now we are off for date night dinner and a comedy show with friends. Bill and I spend large amounts of time together since we work together and building a small business can sometimes take all of your time, so we try and be intentional about quality time whenever we have the opportunity.

Hope y’all have had an awesome day and that tomorrow is even better!

Do you ever stop, look around, and say, dang, how the heck did I get this lucky?

We spend so much of our lives chasing the next thing….more money, more success, more things , more proof that we're doing life thing the right way. But somewhere along the way, we forget to look around at what we've already got.

So try something simple: every day, name three things you're grateful for. Not the polished, social media stuff but the real stuff.

The person sitting beside you.
The pet at your feet
The sunlight coming through the mountains.
The fact that you're still here.
The people who love you.
The strange, beautiful life you somehow managed to stumble your way into.

Do it long enough and something happens. You stop having to look for reasons to be grateful and just become grateful.

I catch myself doing it several times a day. I’m doing it right now sitting on my front porch. I'll stop dead in my tracks, look around at where I am, what I'm doing, and who I'm with, and think:

Holy heck…. How did I get here? How did I get this lucky?

Life is beautiful if you just learn to appreciate it.

I'm looking around at this little business we are building and saying: Thank you God!

Farmers' Pantry is a great store supporting so many local small businesses that is owned and operated by the sweetest family!

They also make fresh deli sandwiches, ice cream floats, and more!

If you are ever in the Commerce area, we highly recommend a stop.
