And we're off!

The summer is in full swing and we are busy. The markets are all up and running and we are enjoying seeing customers from last year, meeting new vendors, and making new customers. If you have time on a Thursday from 2pm-6pm, stop by the Commons in Cohasset for the Cohasset Farmer's Market. Saturdays from 10am-2pm at the Bathing Beach in Hingham is the Hingham market. We had to pull out of Carver for the summer but hope to get there by the end of the season.

We are sending out e-mail newsletters once a month. These newsletters give you an update on what is going on at Family Secrets Bakery whether it is about new products coming to a market near you, discounts being offered, or recipes; this is a newsletter you want to get. We WILL not bombard you with emails and will only send out an email if there is NEWS. Our latest email was sent right before the 1st of July. If you have missed it, you can click the link in the sentence about and you can sign up for future emails while checking out the archived emails.

Have a Happy Independence Day.

Let Freedom Ring!

It's hard to believe that July 4th is just around the corner. Some would say it is the official start to the summer. The 4th of July is a time to gather with family and friends for great cook-out food, fellowship, fun, and of course, Fireworks. Usually one participates in watching a town parade or attending a town's firework display. Some brave souls travel into the city and watch the Pops play at the Hat Shell or line the banks of the Charles to watch the Boston night sky light up. Wherever or whatever the 4th finds you doing, take some time to dwell on what this holiday means. We've come a long way since 1776. Let's not forget what this country was founded on or what our soldiers have fought for and are currently fighting for. If you haven't done so, take the time to say "Thank You" to a veteran or to a family who has a family member currently serving in the military, whether it be here or abroad. As Americans we have a lot of liberties and freedoms that a majority of the world does not have. Let us not take it for granted because it can easily be lost.

In honor of our country and of our military both past and present, we created a cookie called Freedom. Cranberries, white chocolate chips, and blueberries are baked in oatmeal to make this delicious cookie. If you happen to catch us during this season, try one out. They are our featured cookie this coming Thursday at the Cohasset Market.

Thank you to all of you that have served your country, for being willing to give the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms we have today. God Bless you.

Let Freedom Ring!
