The first winter storm of 2012 hit Seattle early last week and we're all still in a kerfuffle. Please be patient if you're an e-commerce customer expecting an order by mail. With almost a foot of snow and ice accumulated over the past few days it's been tricky to get around. However, the temps are warming and the slush is subsiding (slowly) so we should get back to the important business of

In a distressing NY Times article the postmaster general warns that the US Postal Service is in such a dire situation that it may stop all deliveries by the beginning of next year! While today's mail is seen as superfluous or even annoying in the form of junk mailings, it's hard to imagine a world with no mail. The postmaster general has said congressional intervention is needed to save the

Our friend and resident sweetener expert, Ann Juttelstad has just published another interesting industry article on the growing popular demand for sugar-free bakery goods in this month's Baking Management Magazine With the awareness of alternative sweeteners on the upswing, we're getting lots of inquiries about Fruit Sweet as of late. People are interested in its health benefits and how it

With summer here and all the delicious seasonal fruits in their ripened glory, we're drizzling fudge sauce on everything these days... apricots, strawberries, nectarines, even pluots. (It's a cross between a plum and an apricot). Needless to say, with so much seasonal fruit to enjoy we're going through a lot of fudge! In celebration of the season, we're making it easier than ever to get your

With summer in full swing we took a road trip from our HQ in Washington down to Oregon to see all our friends south of the boarder. We started out in the morning at the Vashon Thriftway Espresso Bar where Cathy made us mochas using WAX ORCHARDS Classic Fudge! Yum! That lasted us for 15 or 20 minutes until we hit Tacoma for another mocha at the Antique Sandwich Company and lunch to go. Then we

It seems an especially turbulent time here on planet earth. Besides our own struggling economy in the US  -both large businesses and small still treading water to stay afloat- there's an unprecedented amount of unrest and revolution in the Middle East and Africa. The collage of images floating across our TV and computer screens can be inspiring and even awesome. But at the same time the

We love lists. That's why McSweeny's Internet Tendency's Lists page is bookmarked on the office computer. That's why we read the phone book recreationally. That's why we can't resist making obscure lists of our own like the Top 10 Forgotten R&B Hits of the Early 80 ‘s...

With spring in full swing and summer right around the corner we're itching to get outside more. And a long day up on Cougar Mountain calls for a hearty snack... something easy to eat but loaded with nutrient-dense calories from whole food ingredients. Oh, and it needs to be yummy and chewey and good. Luckily, we've got just the thing! Our friend Mary Goit makes her Belly Timber Bars with premium

Around here, Sunday nights are for big dinners with friends and family. We sit around our big farmhouse table after dinner feeling full and happy as we laugh and share crazy stories. (We'll get to those later...) But things always get very serious right around 8 pm. That's when dessert time rolls around. It's a big deal. Sometimes its pie often its cupcakes or WAX ORCHARDS quick chocolate cake.
