This past Thursday, Landon and I celebrated our unofficial six year anniversary.  We had long-standing plans to get some portable speakers for the iPod, but things were a little too hectic last week to make that happen.  Instead, we celebrated by doing what we like to do best when the […]

Landon and I love selling at Headhouse Market.  It’s well-organized, the customers are terrific, and the vendors are super supportive.  Well, that’s why we love it as business owners. As people who love food, we love it for the shopping.  Landon and I make sure to snag some groceries toward […]

Landon and I live in the country.  Fact.  There aren’t many jobs in the country for a Sociology major with non-profit event planning experience.  Shit.  Who am I kidding–there aren’t a lot of jobs anywhere for a Sociology major with non-profit event planning experience.

Back when Landon worked at Keith’s Farm and sold produce at the Union Square Greenmarket, I met the proprietor of Rick’s Picks. The man was clearly devoted to his pickles, but beyond that, he worshiped their flavor-rich life source–the pickle brine. Over and over again, Rick of Rick’s Picks implored […]
