Promoting What’s in Your Own Backyard

2015/02/img_0466.jpg
We are lucky to live in a very proud state, especially when there is a program like GO TEXAN that makes it easy for independent retailers like myself find other Made In Texas products.
We have always carried only Texas foods – I mean why not – Texas has some of the best food in the country! We have found some fabulous items – such as the dips from Fredericksburg Farms (longhorn dip will make guy do anything!), the jalapeño peanut brittle and jalapeño gold for cream cheese is addictive (I’ve been stopped in parking lots asking if I have either in stock), and since I discovered Avocado Oil from Wimberley Valley Gourmet I hardly use Olive Oil anymore!
So, if you ever want some good Texas food products, just let me know! I can set you up!

A Special Visit

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples & Cynthia Sutton-Stolle

We were very EXCITED to have a visit from Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples to our little retail corner of the globe. The GO TEXAN Program is such a wonderful program for Texas based products and retailers and I’m very proud to be a part of it. We proudly display the logo and sell Texas products whenever possible and we have met some wonderful folks through our search for great Texas items. From Texas Traditions to Marty Anderson Pottery, we’ve been lucky to find unusual products for our store, and much of that is thanks to the GO TEXAN Program. This is a big state and this program enabled us to find some fabulous resources. Thanks to Commissioner Todd Staples for stopping by and to all the folks who work to make the GO TEXAN program what it is – a great way to support retail in Texas!
