(My husband Scott wanted me to “just add another zero, to the end of last years number”….but $200,000 was a little ambitious for a girl who was still reeling from the $20,000 experience.) Once again, I listened daily to the affirmation of $100,000 ~15,000+ bags of wassail to back up that figure. But the Universe had other plans….we got into the wholesale business which threw that figure into the tens of thousands of bags! We became a staple at the Gift Markets and Gourmet Food Shows, selling to over 2,000 stores nationwide. Wow! A simple idea that eventually became a million-dollar idea for our family. Now, 17 years later, we still own and run Old World Specialties, maker of fine gourmet food mixes.

No way!

I've bought some of your spaghetti sauce! I don't remember if I liked it or not, sorry I'm sure it was delicious though. The label certainly looked cool which is why I remember it.
