Let's Get a Little Spicy and then Eat Something Sweet on Food Farms And Chefs Radio Show, Episode 316!

The owner of Goodlands Food Co, Anna Dausman, joined us to take a more in-depth look into her career and what ultimately led Anna to building a business based on hot sauces.  As a young girl, Anna already showed an entrepreneurial spirit--making her first attempt at a culinary career with a cake-baking business.  Although that initial concept did not pan out, she nevertheless pursued a career which created opportunities for others to build up themselves and their communities.  And as another opportunity knocked, Anna found herself drawn back to the culinary world while growing ghost peppers in her plot of land at her local community garden.  Soon she found herself making hot sauces that everyone loved, and Goodlands Food Co. was born!  Today, you can hear all about Anna's story and what she offers when you tune into the show...and then check out her website to find where her products are sold in your local area!https://goodlandsfood.co Inspiration can strike at any point, and Diane Holtaway knows that more than most individuals who start a new business, so after years of helping others build and refine theirs, Diane set out to start a business of her own. Today, Diane owns Heirzoom Bakery which has been steadily growing since its inception.  Her concept was to offer authentic ethnic baked goods the way they were meant to be...meaning she uses natural, quality ingredients without all the chemicals and additives you'll find in store-bought brands and on the shelves of bakeries and/or the baked goods aisles.  Her biggest inspiration was her Aunt Betty, who made Kiffles (a popular Hungarian Pastry) for family gatherings and women's groups and never came back home with any leftovers. Inspired to share the love, Diane pays homage to both her Aunt Betty and the Kiffles via her hand-baked versions called Fennomes.  Today, you can taste those cookies (and more) when you order them online and have them shipped to your door, or by visiting her website!https://heirzoombakery.com fb: https://www.facebook.com/fennome/
