Expert Yogi Posts: 5098   Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Okay DYF (short for dear yoga friends, as DD would say), I was asked today by some friends who owns a little country store to bake some on the go items for their country store - to sell. They like to have home made items that are prepared by local artisans such as myself. Things like individual mini-banana breads, muffins, breakfast bars, sticky buns, cookies, and whatever else I chose to do that people in my area would like. This has the potential to turn into a small made to order baking company, baking specialty cakes and desserts for parties, and whatevers. Believe it or not, this is really my specialty. I strictly do organic baking as well! So, what I'm looking for is some kind of "catchy" name or phrase to label my items (a company name) and for my little sign that I will put in the basket. I'm trying to stay in the area of "On the Go", "Treats", by Cyndi Lu (something that sounds kinda country and cute), & maybe something country and mountain-ess. Any ideas?? I will accept anything (please be nice  I'm looking forward to seeing some cool ideas. This should be fun and interesting... As an incentive, I will ship some samples to the person who gives me the best idea, Thanks a lot!! Cyndi | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Wow, Thanks guys...it's always fun to get ideas and put them together. I like that too SS and Fifi....I really like that a lot. Sorry Brucebhai, I was leaning towards the Mountain Munchies, although, I'm not finished yet. A bakery can have all kinds of goodies...mountain munchies, backcountry trail mixes, even local organic treats too! My friends at the store will like the backwoods name too. We love names like that. How can I use the word, "Youins"?. That is a old popular saying around these here hills. Like Youins have a good day. Youins come back now, ya hear? Youins enjoy them there cakes. Anyway, I can't use the words Fresh, Lovin' (sorry Lori, it's not me although, I may have some lovin' treats for the doggies), or Organic because I may have to use Non-Organic, but locally grown and somewhat organic sometimes where flour and nuts are concerned, but I do use locally made flour from an old operating grist mill. Using the term Organic get's sticky these days. But, Locally made is good and I could use "Local Backwoods Bakery". I'll let you guys know when I'm finished....I may get this name trademarked and be another Sara Lee,  As a side, I will be offering made to order cakes and desserts for parties. We live in an area that is seasonal with tourists - (no, not you Tourist), so who knows, that may be a good thing to get going around here too! Edited by Cyndi 2006-01-13 6:13 PM | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Hi Mitch, Well, actually I was asked to do this little simple thing, provide some homemade muffins and rolls for breakfast and on the go items. Then we were all sitting around talking about how this could lead into so many other things. Which I'm all game for...with one exception. I am taking this very slowly. Here in the mountains, we do things that way - slow. The treats are portable, from the mountains/backwoods and by CyndiLu. No, I doubt this will go online, however, that is always subject to change, but I'm not going in that direction. I am mainly looking at supporting some local area business's with local hand made items. Most Tourists around here are looking for homemade items to take home or eat in their car on the way back to Atlanta from the weekend trip to the mountains. The Honey will definitely be a part of this, but at the present time, I'm not doing any honey. I'm raising bees to get my honey business established. The honey is seasonal and is not a guarantee every season due to weather and the amount of honey I wish to keep or sell. Most of my surplus honey will be for my consumption and friends...I'm not looking at a honey business until further on down the road, like a couple of years. Unless of course we have a really really good sourwood flow this summer. Let me also say, that this is one of those situations that is stress free. I mean like, I travel alot and there are going to be times when my items will not be available...and its okay. Everyone around here expects that, because that's the way we are. So, for now, I am really playing around to see what will happen and I'm not putting that much energy into it. I really don't need a business, I have another *real* business, this new idea was all in fun. My idea is to turn this into a "Fun Business". If it doesn't stay fun, then I quit, So, GJ, this is what I'm going to say that I do for fun, I cook treats and provide them for the local business's because it makes people happy to receive homemade food and treats, Does that help Mitch? | ||
