WCAX Fun in the Morning



Andrew, Greg, Donna, Steph and I had an exciting morning working it for the camera.

Andy the Camera Man got some great shots of the young and dashing Jack Thurston as he asked gently-probing, genuine questions to make interesting conversation with Steph about small business in Vermont.

See us on the air for Made In Vermont on Channel 3 WCAX News this Friday at 6:00!


Also, the news piece will soon be streaming online! Until that link is at your disposal, here are some exciting shots of a fun morning at Nutty Steph's Chocolate Shop.

It's been a while since we had a co. family picture. Ladies and Gentleman, introducing (from left to right) Astounding Andrew, Donna The Do-er, Greg Get-Er-Done, Madame Jaquelyn (the artist formerly known as Steph) and Tenacious Trish.

From our family to yours...

Hosting the Bake Shop Field Trip


We were so tickled today to fill the shop with young energy.

The Harwood Union High School Bake Shop earned their end of the semester class field trip by baking and selling 76 pies. After a tour of the Red Hen Bakery next door, Nutty Steph showed them around our place and had a laugh-a-riot talking about her early failures and triumphs as a young business person.

Thanks for coming out bakers!

Monkton Scouts Spread Nutty Cheer

We were more than delighted to make a yummy donation of bulk granola to the 2008 Monkton Community Caroling Event as well as the Monkton School Holiday Bazaar.

We hear the Monkton Community Caroling was a huge success! Over 50 Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies, 4-H Members, and their parents packaged 24 baskets with homemade treats and locally-based goodies! They then split into four groups to deliver the 24 baskets to the tune of A SONG to elderly and shut-in community members.

They also used our granola at the Monkton School Holiday Bazaar. They were able to raise $1800.00 for enrichment programs such as Vermont Council of the Art Residencies and the Flynn Theatre. Glad we could give a little smile to elderly and shut-in folks in Monkton, as well as the K-6 children that attend Monkton Central School.

It was our pleasure, thank you for asking us to participate Sylvia and Janet!
