Sweet Dream Gourmet
"Sometimes Dreams Become Reality"
Sweet Dream Gourmet is one of those dreams. It began early in the summer of 2010. I had six boxes with an assortment of jams and several dozen biscotti loaded in my car. I set off for my local farmer's market in Wapakoneta, Ohio. I pulled into the parking lot, put up my tent and tables then unloaded my goods. As I was setting up I wondered if I would make enough to cover my costs.
Actually this story began earlier in my life. In 1989 when I started raising my family I decided to start putting up preserves; an art I learned while watching my great grandmother growing up. When my children got to be school age I decided to enter my preserves into our local fair and to my surprise I received Blue Ribbons and Best of Show for my preserves. So it has become an annual event each August.
I needed something to give me fulfillment in my life with my children in college. I came up with the idea of a home based business in which Sweet Dream Gourmet was born. I have always loved to bake and put up preserves. I found I could operate my business from my kitchen under Ohio's "Cottage Foods" law.
My Dream is now a Reality! I hope you will enjoy my preserves and biscotti as much as my family has over the years.
