Last night at the Chatham Real Food Market Coop, Corinna and I set out to do a three-hour product demo, but we sold out after a bit under two hours.

These are good problems to have!

The crowds were good - usually we had several people at a time - and some were pushing others out of the way to get tastes. We went through about three dozen croissants, a gaggle of lemon-curd petit-fours, and about two dozen cheese sticks.

Meanwhile, across the room, the cash register was singing as people bought. This was a great way to get out and meet customers and describe what we do, and we’re very grateful to Marcie at the market for the opportunity.

One thing she noticed yesterday was that the ham and cheese croissants and the cheese sticks sold especially well; today’s order out to the market will contain more of those.
Today we’re off to make deliveries to the Market and Strongtree, plus checking out the Hudson Farmers’ Market.
