And…in case you were unaware, Celestial Seasonings is a Colorado company, based in Boulder. So, I...

The sun returns in force and makes us dream about what our summer might bring. Table Mountain Farms Easter. If Covid taught us one thing, it was to help support local businesses. I tried the Goat’s Milk Caramels from Table Mountain Farms. They come in four flavors: Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon Vanilla, Whiskey and Salted Dark Chocolate. They each had a distinct (but not overpowering flavor) and the tang of goat’s milk instead of cow’s milk. Lowe’s Weekly Spring Celebration.
