I am very impressed with these people and it certainly goes to show that if you have the drive and the fire in the belly, it can be done. It's folks like this that will improve our foods and diets and save us from all of the chemicals and other unpronouncable things in the store-bought stuff. Bravo to each of you.

Oh I love this post, T.W. It has taken so long for Long Islanders to bring their gift of fabulous food to the masses. I must save this link so I know where to go or where to visit when I do make my way back home for a visit, which, btw will definitely be this Spring!!!
I actually know Donna and I think I know Bobby as well. Donna for sure. I must visit their website and drop them a line. It has been years! Donna may be a tiny little thing but let me tell you, she is an excellent cook also!!!
Thank you so much for sharing all these tasty links T.W. You have no idea how much they have brightened my snowy day:)
Dear T.W., It is so nice to see Long Island get recognition for its great foodies.
Blessings, Catherine

I'm nuts over those breads! They look divine.
Thanks so much for writing about all of them and for the links.
What a lovely post this surely is, very informative too!
They are very passionate about their own produce! ;)
How many times have any of us woken in the morning and asked ourselves why aren't we doing ---- for a living? Bless these souls who actually do it. All their products look great.
